<p>I'm using the standard kit lenses - 18-55mm, about 40cm above the tray you can get a 30x30cm field of view, I run assays either on a whole plate of agar or on 5x5cm agar squares with a paper top ( eliminates problems with shrinkage ). I used to use Nikon d50's but they need an external intervalometer. Fixed focus webcams are ok but with an SLR you have a much higher pixel count so can crop in on the time lapse. </p>
<p>I generally use low level white light illumination - around 2s exposure…</p>

<p>I'm not too familiar with canon cameras, do you have to have a lense to get good photos of the slime? If so, what size lense do you use?</p>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>I use Canon eos-m's - fairly cheap second hand and they run magic lantern so you can time lapse with long exposure. If you're thinking of Ir just to keep slimes happy, Amber leds are a lot easier - physarum can't see light that's the same colour as it</p>
