Fascinating!
Is the red photo - fluorescence ? the same diatoms as in the first DIC photo?

Your DIC images are great again!
Where in Sweden do you live? I was twice paddling in vintage folding kayaks in the area south on Västervik with my family. It was very impressiv to move between these many small uninhabited islands and then stay the night in tiny tents on one of them.

Yes, fluorescent light. The red is the chlorophyll auto-fluorescing. Not very exciting as an image as such, but it clearly revealed 4 strings of chloroplasts in each diatom in the colony. If you look at the DIC images it looks like some of these only have 3 strings of chloroplasts. I do not know why some had 3 and some 4 but I am sure some of you have a good explanation. Perhaps different species? The first one looks more "robust" than the ones next to each other.

I live in Stockholm. Västervik is in the southern parts of Sweden. Very beautiful place. Sweden has a very long coast line and have literally tens of thousands of small islands. They laws in Sweden allow anyone to use land for hiking, sleeping in tents, etc. You can even collect berries and mushrooms as much as you like without asking for permission from the land owner. Sort of unique, but valuable for people who enjoy being out in the nature.
