3D photography with NON-Stereo microscope

[bercov@xxxxxxxxxx (John Bercovitz)]

I liked the idea of making up an aperture plate which you insert 
in the microscope's optical train.  You take one picture with the 
aperture to one side and another with the aperture shifted to the 
other side of the microscope barrel.  This gives you two points of 
view or two perspectives.  Of course you have to put the aperture 
in the right place and I would guess this would be somplace where 
there is no image, where it's totally out of focus.  There's a 
Burder macro camera that works something like this but it has two 
holes in the aperture plate of a single lens and Burder is able to 
separate the two images by having two paths.  What I'm proposing 
uses time to separate the images.  8-)  I would really like to try
this.  If I only had some _time_.
