Francisco,

Always good to experiment with stuff. Looks good the blue background.
I like those critters cause it looks like they have whiskers!

Thank you Dennis
PZO Pluta DIC system allows you to "experiment" with a wide variety of DIC colors.

Ciliate Holosticha.
In this video I have "played" with the DIC colors of the PZO microscope to obtain a blue background.

Hermosa imagen, Francisco!

Do you do something to slow down the motions of your specimens?

Hola Javier. Gracias
No, I do not use any technique to "slow down" the specimens.

DonSchaeffer - macnmotion, Thanks for your comments

Very very nice.

Hi Francisco. Excellent movie. In addition to ciliates, you can also see a lot of diatoms. Your video is very vivid and rich in colors. The technique is probably a continuation of DIC PZO. Inspired by your previous shows, I decided to launch my DIC PZO. So far, I have only mounted a DIC head on my ...

Excellent, Francisco - and almost single-celled humorous. That ciliate looks like me wandering around our kitchen before a cup of coffee. Can you tell us how you captured that? It looks like there's a bit of oblique light coming in. Thanks for your comment. I have used a PZO microscope equipped wit...

Hi Francisco. The second very spectacular video. I'm really impressed. Very plastic and expressive material. In the previous entry you mentioned that you use PZO DIC. What microscope is it mounted on? I'm trying to connect my PZO DIC to Zeiss Fluoval, but no success. Regards Maciej Thank you. I use...

Beautiful movie.
Considering the size of diatoms, your ciliate is a giant.
What technique did you use to shoot your film?

Maciej

Thank you.
The measurement, approx. of the ciliate is 500µm.
Use DIC PZO

So 3 dimensional !

Dennis; Thanks.

Francisco, I never saw that "long tall drink of water" around here. We don't have brackish waters though. Whatever microscope you are using- YOU WANT TO KEEP IT !!! Thanks. I use a microscope made up of parts from different microscopes. Base; Nikon Fluophot stand; PZO with DIC Pluta Illuminator: Lo...
