Two unique looking alage specimens

#1 Post by Topcode » Mon Mar 11, 2024 6:55 pm

Taken from the same sample as my two slow motion posts, a bottle of pond water sitting on a window sill.
The "8" shaped guy is just about 20 micron long. And in the cluster, they are each about 14 micron wide or so.

I believe this one is a Pediastrum duplex, made up of 8 cells

Couldn't tell you much of anything about this guy, other than it is shaped like an 8.
