Re: Catenula Lemnae.
Hello Dennis. I'm glad this video sparked your interest. I try to add music to every video. This is because such a video is better to watch. A long time ago, when films had no sound, there was a piano in cinemas and someone played it during the screening. I download the sound files that I use for my...

Catenula Lemnae.
Hello Breeding in a jar established in 2023 The main character is probably Catenula Lemnae. During contractions, you can see an oblong object moving in the back. It's probably some algae that was devoured a moment ago, but I'm not sure. Apart from that, nothing interesting. Regards Maciej sXatsz94ICU

Soy sauce in DIC
Hello. Today I would like to show you some photos. They are made using the PZO DIC technique. They present crystallized soy sauce. But I'm not too happy with the result. In my opinion, these photos are too grainy. I don't know if this is due to some defect in my equipment or if it is just a natural ...

My old buddy Rotifer.
In my observations of freshwater samples, I encounter such an individual very often. It's undoubtedly Rotifer. I think I became a little friends with them, hence the title of the film. Nothing extraordinary - rotifer is rotifer. But this particular individual allowed us to look inside and showed us ...

Re: Cells of a Leaf from the Lawn
Hi Don.
You got some nice color shots at the beginning of the video.
The more you delved into the structure of the leaf, the more subsequent shots lost their color.
But I guess it's natural.
I liked.

Hello A nematode filmed in a bright field lands inconspicuously. It is gray and not very noticeable. This one got new clothes and looks different now.

Hello. In today's sample taken from the container, I found a whole cluster of diatoms. It looked like some kind of diatomaceous garbage dump. Initially, my attention was drawn to a rather long chain.

Hello WWWW. Of course you're right. This is closterium. I don't know what made me decide to use the wrong name. Perhaps the fact that there were a lot of diatoms around that are not visible in the frame. And these diatoms stayed in my subconscious. Well - I'm just a reckless amateur and I don't see ...

Some kind of nematode.
Filmed exactly a year ago, in March 2023.
The video was shot at a strange, for me, speed of 59fps.
Fresh water, of course.
It looks innocent enough here, but actually they are different creatures

Taken today from a jar of fresh water.

Without this lighting he was almost invisible.

Yes, you're right about the diagonal lighting effect. To achieve this, I partially cover the beam of light under the condenser with a black plate.
Ddy5 - I forgot to write that this small 10mm disc must be black. I'm sure you know this, but I wanted to supplement my post
