I succeeded to see the fringes. I was looking everywhere except where I should have been. To see fringes I have to look exactly at the reflection of the fluorescent tube in the microscope slides, previously I avoided being blinded by it for all cost :). It probably wouldn't have happened if I...

Yes, I have, but so far I have not found any useful hints, except one which I found on this forum, there was a thread over a decade ago, somemone had exaclty the same problem as me and actually it was you who suggested the head position "You have to get your head in the right place to view the...

Both ends of slides are pressed together tightly, so any ridges should be flatened out, anyway my caliper can't see any diffrence between the ends with the foil and the ends without it, so I expect the difference is less than 0,01mm.

The fluorescent lamp is a tube so I can easily cover most of it and leave only the length of the slides uncovered or as I saw on youtube, put the slides inside a cardboard box, make a hole of the size of slides on top of the box and put my lamp on it. I actually tried a red laser pointer once...

I tried with different backgrounds like a black plastic housing of the speaker, a non-reflective screen of my computer or a black cotton t-shirt. "How do you illuminate the wedge from one direction with parallel rays of light?". Not sure if I know what you mean, I hold the source of light...

According to my caliper it is 0,05mm. Well I would be happy to see at least one :) I tried with many different things, the thinnest is the stretched foil which according to my not very professional caliper is below 0,01 mm. I know the equation so i know it should be about 200 fringes for 0,05mm...

Two microscope slides separated by a sheet of paper at one end. I tried different sources of light, yellow LED, red LED, fluorescent lamp and i can't see any fringes. What am i doing wrong?
