Wow, it's been a while since I've used a microscope and was always fascinated by what I saw.
Thank you for sharing.

I enjoy it more right now then looking through the panes of glass aka my tank holding my water samples for the microscope.

It's not under the microscope but here's a couple amphipods building a burrow together that I thought was really cool.
This was previously posted in this thread of a baby amphipod under the microscope. One of my favorite pictures so far.

Thanks for posting all of these, for updates, and for the index here. Really cool stuff. I'm going through your Bio-spira and Microbacter 7 (and other product) videos. Neat to see what's really out there.
I wish I knew more about biology at the microscopic level, to be able to better interpret what I'm seeing. I can figure out some basic cellular structure pieces, but identification by function or even species of organism is over my head. Need to find some books on the subject... |

This thread has been too much fun not to sticky it.

Not that I need an excuse to want to put something under the microscope but I certainly couldn't let Antony Van Leeuwenhoek's birthday go by with out doing so.
Grabbed a sample from my favorite place so far. My ATS. Double cover slips for tonight's celebration.

That was by far the largest sample I've looked at under the microscope so far. I kind of nodded off last night a couple times while watching.
Lots of pods, Tons of diatoms, and a LOT more bacteria then I've seen before. Bacteria in a bottle has nothing on my tank. lol I also found right away a very active ostracod whicg was very cool. Usually they aren't doing much of anything when I have seen them before. I also got a very long video, which I nodded off at least once while recording, of a ciliate splitting. Uploads coming.

Those are diatoms. There's two kinds seen above. There's several shapes they can come in but they will have a silica exterior and are photosynthetic with that brownish look to them.
