Diatoms from the North Sea (Cuxhaven)
Not the best, 60x was hazy due to improper correction collar adjustment, only realised after recording.

Your sample prep is impressive!
Mine never look like that: just a mess of algal colony parts, occasional whole diatoms, tons of spicules..... not to mention the dust on my optics.
What's your mounting medium? I just bought some clear nail polish, hoping for a higher RI than the permount I'm currently using. I'll be trying that on some samples recently collected in the Eastern Pacific near Puerto Vallarta.
