Thanx !!
Dont wanna sound dense (but probably will anyway!?!) whats a dark-field illumination??? :S
Looking forward to understanding what cool effect I may have achieve without trying.

There are three types of illumination (AFAICR) - "normal", where the ambient light is fairly constant, and Dark- and Light-field illumination.
In "normal" illumination, there is light on the background, where there MAY be an image or colour, and there MAY be shadow either from the object or from how the lighting reflects off the background. Some of the background light illuminates the object.
Take a look at any Dorling Kindersley book - all the photographs look like they have been taken on white backgrounds. The background needs to be (old f*rt moment) 1.3x (I THINK) lighter than the light falling on the object. Dark-field illumination is the opposite - the background is black. In both, there is minimal or no shadow, and the focus is on the object (ie. no background other than white or black).
