The stereoscopes that have a glass plate is used in science for looking through an object and the mirror below it will reflect and diffuse light back up into the objective lens and give you difficulty. You can find black sheets of paper at Michaels or similar stores and cut a small square or circular piece to cover the glass.A small beam of light you can produce from a small light to the side will then be able to enhance any depth situation such as a scratch or a doubling more readily. I have used a 99cent store tiny flashlight with a clamp holder to move and lock at an angle. Multiple lights around the room on different sides can make a surface look light different objects have different depths/angles. Also try using a cardboard box the covers 3 of the 4 sides and the top , leaving one side open for you look through the eyepieces, it will probably improve photographs. Light is an interesting thing. I really wish the forum would allow buying/selling of microscopes,light boxes, macro devices, etc., as they are almost an absolute necessity , IMHO. Jim

This was really helpful. Creating a light box was a great idea. I need to build a better one, but here’s the newest setup. It’s a start.

Don't forget us over here
Dig the notching and extra thickness.
This one is a good example of split serif's

Also, I like the tootsie roll effect.
