Is a green filter for phase contrast necessary?

I'm looking to buy a Leitz Dialux from the 70s, together with the 402a condenser and a set of PH objectives. Is the green filter necessary? And if yes, should I get one of the official ones from the big brands, or are the ones from aliexpress good enough?

Timelapse of a Heliozoan with a food vacuole. Their digestion is very slow. This is at 100x speed.

Legjobb klippjeim erről az apró, Collotheca nevű ragadozóról. Ez egy rotifer/kerekesféreg, ami a saját gyomortartalmát használva vonza magához a prédát. Több infó a kommentekben.

🔥Predators of the microcosmos. Here's a compilation of my best clips where microbes or microscopic animals are eating or trying to eat each other

Found my first water flea, and she even has two eggs. Alona guttata.

This squishy bag of algae is a Paramecium bursaria. They don't digest the algae, instead, they let it photosynthesize, so the P. bursaria can get part of the sugars produced by the algae.

This is a Heterolitonotus rex. I surrounded it with prey, hoping to catch it eat something. Instead, it kept going around in circles in this small cave for two hours. I'm tired.

Rotaria - This rotifer has two eyespots on its little proboscis, and uses it's chainsaw-like mouth two create a vortex, and draw food inside its mouth.

Since I started doing microscopy last year, my main interests were always microscopic predators. So here are my best clips of microbes (and sometimes small animals) eating each other.
