Circular oblique illumination (COL) and the examination of blood www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artmay04/pjblood.html
Off axis COL illumination www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artdec04/pjoblique.html
Phase
Contrast and COL combinedIt occurred to me that since the imagery
raised through the employment of full aperture annuli in COL has
subdued tonality, but very high resolution, www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artnov07/pj-condenser2.html
Circular
Oblique Lighting (Part 1)Technically speaking it is 360 degree Oblique
Illumination OR Circular Oblique Lighting For brevity's sake I shall
refer to it as COL illumination www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artdec02/pjcol.html
Off
Axis COL UpdateThose who have taken to COL lighting techniques will no
doubt have developed it to their own satisfaction by marrying substage
annuli to suitable objectives www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artmay08/pj-colupdate.html
Circular
oblique lighting (COL) Part IV: updateI have been constantly impressed
with COL, and especially with the humble achromat: the performance of
which seems to be particularly elevated in comparison www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artoct03/pjcol4.html
Circular Oblique Lighting Part 2It must be emphasized that there is no definitive COL set-up, www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artjan03/pjcol2.html
Circular Oblique Lighting (In concluding this final article on COL I'd like to describe a few moments www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artfeb03/pjcol3.html

Preservation

this for a while I decided to leave the Kohler setup exactly as it was
for best imagery in COL for both photo images and to reduce the www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artmay07/pj-contrast.html

comparisons vary to a lesser degree in COL and oblique simply because
