Re: Green Filter

Hi,
you are not creating "white light" with a blue filter!

As lenses are something like round prisms, light containing all
wavelength from red to blue would be split up each time light is
reflected or bent, resulting in chromatical aberrations.
So it makes sense to take one part only, the red or green or blue
section.
As resolution is depending on the wavelength, is makes sense to take
short wavelength light: blue
That's what the blue filter is for!

I have a microscope which came with a blue and a green filter. I use the blue to
create a white background. I can find anyone that knows what you would use the
green filter for. Any help?
