Rheinberg illumination is based on dark-field illumination. With colored filters instead of the dark 'patch stop' wonderful effects can be created. It is important to know that the central filter is giving the dominant color of the image!

Included is a set custom made Interchangeable Rheinberg Filters - made from approx. 3mm (2.8-3.3mm - please check your condenser tray headroom) one hundred percent transparent Lucite.

The user can change the center color applying any wanted center color to the desired color ring.

By design the rings are provided with a “shoulder “ to keep in place center stop not to fall through. After mounting the center stop and the peripheral color ring are approx. at same level.

A great number of combination are possible.

Please look at the attached pictures, they represent the item you are bidding for.

Default Diameter – 32mm (no adapter for this diameter).

We have adapters for 33mm, 34mm, and 35mm. If you need one of these diameters please send us an email within two hours after the end of the auction. For a filter equipped with an adapter you need approx. 3mm headroom above the upper edge of the condenser tray. (If we do not receive an email from you, a default 32mm set will be sent.) The adapter (one piece black color) is free.

(Not all people are familiar with Rheinberg illumination, for people trying for the first time this technique we recommend to begin experimenting using as a starting point plenty of light, maximum condenser aperture and elevation. Please do not forget the Rheinberg illumination rules and Darkfield rules are different. Rheinberg filters will work very well in lower magnification range (up to 100X) Using this filters in higher magnification environment (above 100X) the - so name "Rheinberg Effect" will be less noticeable or null.) Since this filters are designed to be inserted in a condenser filter tray please do not try to put them in another location, they will not work)
