Haematococcus: a view from afar

[gekko]

Haematococcus (courtesy of Crater Eddie). I'm not sure what the small green algae are. My excuse for posting yet more Haematococcus images is that I found the low power view through the microscope beautiful. [10x objective; brightfield and cross-polarized light.]

I would agree with that description! :)

Gekko, don't ever stop with the Haematococcus images until we tell you to. That will probably be "Never"!

Beautiful.

Fabulous colour - they would make great prints!

[billbillt]

Many thanks to 75RR, JimT, John B, BillT, and zzffnn for your very kind comments.
JimT, the real reason is that Haematococcus is all I've got (a bit, but only a bit, of an exaggeration).

Both images are very striking. That red against the almost electric greens is just great.

Well done Gekko

Very artistic images! And yes, sometimes those lower power objectives can produce a striking result. Nice work.

Rod and Bill, thank you for your comments.

Nice images gekko, haematococcus is impressive on mass. I like the bright field image

Beautiful! Are there any motile ones, or are they all dormant?

molehill and CE, many thanks for your comments.
CE, I've not seen any motile ones lately (I did look). There were motile ones when the sample was relatively new.
