Feeling up to the challenge of making your own Microscope filters?

You may want to buy my new book:
How to Make Rheinberg Filters, for the Hobbyist and Professional


My book won't just tell you how Rheinberg works, and give you a
couple of hints about making these very special filters. It's not a book
about optics, or light theory, or about microscopy.

My book shows you how to do this! How to make center stops and annulus rings to give you many color combinations. Here is an example using salt crystals.
I'll show you how to make bi-colored annulus rings.
And you'll be able to make four colored annulus rings, or overlay bi-colored ones to get these combinations.

I'm offering to you all of my secrets- my suppliers of materials, the tools I use, time saving techniques, how to market your filters, and more. This is a handbook and a start -up business manual as well.

My book not only teaches you how to make filters, but how to set
up an E-Business, and I show you how to build a website, and run a profitable home based business. This is an E-Book.

For the past ten years, I've made filters for universities around the world, for the Mayo Clinic, for professors, industrial scientists, hospital researchers, doctors and veterinarians on every continent, and for amateurs of course as well.

My E-Book is loaded with dozens of color photographs
and diagrams explaining every point, every nuance of this art.

You'll learn how to get stunning results like these. Learn to make a black center stop which gives you a Darkfield effect, as in this Vorticella.
Learn to make center stops in green, as used for this Daphnia photo.
Or a violet centerstop and a yellow annulus ring from an arsenal of dozens of colors you will have at your fingertips. Your hydra comes to life.
I'll show you where you can get materials for hundreds of colors of annulus rings, all for under $5.00.

 

I could never offer you the kinds of photography like you will find in my book with a traditionally published hard copy book.

The book would cost as much as a college textbook, or more.

Did you know that there is a kitchen utensil that is perfect for making Rheinberg center stops?

Did you know that one of the best materials for making high quality Darkfield filters is probably in your basement or garage right now?

Did you know you can make a complete set of Rheinberg filters AND a set of DIY/DIC filters for less than $10.00? I show you all the tricks, techniques, and more...

You will be able to click on hot links to resources, references, and suppliers on the internet. That's right. While you are reading, you can open links which pop up in a new window with additional information, descriptions, or prices of materials and supplies.

Included is a Bonus Section where I show you how to build a beautiful wooden filter case. I built and sold two of these cases for over $100.00 each. Step by step instructions and photos show you how.

And yes, of course, I'm also including bonus material on making Oblique Illumination filters (DIY/DIC). These filters give your specimens a 3D effect that could only be achieved with a very expensive Differential Interference Contrast microscope.

Here is an example of Diatoms using an oblique illumination filter. These filters are experimental, and allow only a tiny part of the light beam to hit your specimen at an angle. the result is a 3D effect.
Above is a typical set of experimental DIY/DIC filters I show you how to make these filters and how they work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll also show you how to make plant press, for preserving leaves and flowers, and there is even a guide to building an objective lens holder.

And I'm going to tell you how to sell your photographs on-line, and in fact, how to sell anything on the internet. And while I'm on the subject of microphotography, I reveal the three professional secrets of good landscape photography. It's all in the Bonus Section of my book.

Why am I doing this?

Frankly, I'm getting on in years, and I don't have the kind of time I used to have for making and selling filters. I'm kind of hoping someone else out there might be as dedicated and skilled as I have been, and take over this business for me. I welcome it. That's how I roll.

But maybe you are just curious. You may not want to make and sell filters.

Then buy a set of filters from me, and you can still buy this book to add to your knowledge. The price is reasonable enough so you can own the be-all and end-all book on making Rheinberg filters. This book is priced at only $29.95.

Why?

Like I said, a book with so many full color photos and diagrams would normally be the price of a college text book, and that's in the $150.00 to $200.00 range.

Yet, I felt that amount might be unaffordable for most people, and then I thought about the price of a set of my custom made filters.

This is a set of Annulus rings. These rings give color to the specimen only - not the background.

My filters typically sell on EBay for around $100.00 or more.

This is a set of Center Stop filters. These rings give color to the background only - not the specimen.

Well if a person can buy my filters for $100.00, why would they buy my book for a similar price?

And even at $50.00, I felt my book might be too high priced for the average person. Don't get me wrong- the book is worth a lot more than $50.00.

But there's a saying. No one ever really pays the price of a book, only the price of printing it.

Because it is an E-book, I'm letting it go at $29.95. I think that's not only fair, but a great deal. You can instantly download the book as a pdf file. That means you can save it on your PC or your laptop computer and read it anywhere. But it is not just an E-book.

In essence, I'm selling my Rheinberg Filter business for $29.95.

What?

It's about sharing. Like I said, my dream now is to see someone else take on the challenge of supplying the world with high quality Rheinberg filters.

I am, in fact, encouraging my readers to set up their own business to compete against me.

And I'm holding nothing back. You'll know that immediately when you read the book.
