Grammatophora sp. (Tentative ID)

#1 Post by 75RR » Wed Jul 15, 2020 10:29 am

.
Zeiss Planapo 63x/1.4, DIC, 70µm length, stacked and stitched in Photoshop, Marine sample, Alboran Sea.

Came across this empty frustule which was unfortunately somewhat mucky, still being empty allowed a little more detail of the stria and pores to be captured. Converted to grey scale.

This is using direct projection via a raised eyepiece - still fine tuning.

Tentative ID of Grammatophora sp. is best guess at the moment.

Really, really nice. Probably the best I've seen with a raised normal eyepiece. How much of the visual field are you capturing?

Will have to get back to you on that as I have not measured it.

Yes, very impressive indeed! I can plainly see there wasn't anything easy about that image. :shock:

Thanks Sabatini and KurtM

Unfortunately what with having to put the microscope and tripod away after every session, half of most sessions consist in setting it all up again :)
