Looking at some rain water that had been in the gutter for a few days. Saw alot of these guys...i aptly named them broccoli pills (green mushroom cloud doesn't roll off the tongue as easily)
My DSLR decided to run out of battery half way through the evening so i had to resort to holding my cellphone up against the eyepiece. Sometimes i honestly think the whole cellphone/eyepiece combo gives better results. I had to take a picture of the micrometer slide with the cellphone/eyeiece so the scale would match.
100x BF. Single image with quick sharpen and noise reduction in PP. Broccoli Pill is about 10 μm.
Thanks for looking!

Re: Broccoli Pills
I think your broccoli pills are cyanobacteria (Chroococcus, I believe). Clear image and nice to have the size bar.
