• Imaging ultracold atoms
• Bose-Einstein condensation
• Dark-ground imaging

We use resonant dark ground imaging to obtain in situ images of Bose Einstein condensates with optical thicknesses up to 350. Our technique is easy to implement and the detected signal is large. We discuss the regimes of applicability of this method as well as its limitations.
