I’ve been watching a bunch of videos by MicrobeHunter every weekend, and I’ve decided to try out the DIY polarization method (spoiler alert - it works and creates an awesome filter!).
I bought a few polarization sheets off Amazon (around $10). You need two sheets - one for below the slide and one for above the slide. The orientation matters - the two sheets should be turned so that they black out each other. You may need to rotate a few times.
Come back to the blog for updates and pictures!
In this picture, you can see what the film looks like and how different orientations create the “black-out” effect.
