Tape a little slice of a milk jug over the light - something about .25-.38" wide by an inch long or so. Try two layers if you don't get enough diffusion. These were with one layer:   No diffusion, but a little Photoshop level work:   Note the milk jug helps to correct the microscope's white balance error, and it definitely allows increased light levels. I don't know if that's necessary, though - I set the light scale at less than halfway when using my QX5. Edited by SsuperDdave

The wax-like paper that labels are stuck on work like a charm too. You can fold it over on itself as many times as needed. |

Those are great articles Jim, thanks for posting them. I can't wait until I can buy a little photography equipment and get started.
I have to wait until after September though because daughter and wife birthdays always leave me broke, but I have bookmarked those articles.
