Diatom with somewhere to go
It stopped for a rest after a bit and I was able to photograph it.

Re: Diatom with somewhere to go
Attractive diatom, especially since it is so rich in pigments.
Re: Diatom with somewhere to go
Thanks Hobbyst46, yes it is very attractive. I was pleased when I found it. Had hoped to do more with it - perhaps with the next one.

GREAT IMAGE!...
Re: Diatom with somewhere to go
Very nice detail and structure. Seems the diatom is just leisurely on his merry little way. Out of curiosity, if I may ask, how are you coupling your µ43 camera to the microscope? Cheers. -Norm

Re: Diatom with somewhere to go
Hmm, why didn't I think of that. I'm searching all over the evil auction site for a special adapter/coupler. I'll have to give that a try, thanks for idea. Cheers. -Norm

Re: Diatom with somewhere to go
Few things look as happy as Diatoms with wanderlust. And fairly mind-blowing to think they're plants!

Re: Diatom with somewhere to go
Very nice image 75RR and I very much liked the Star Wars battle cruiserish way in which the diatom glided unstoppably across the screen while lesser creatures wiggled (cringed?) in the background!
As for "The Day of the Triffids", I have enjoyed all of John Wyndham's SF novels several times now - I particularly enjoy SF set in the present day, or very near future, and most of Wyndham's novel are like that.
