Closterium Sp., Euastrum humerosum and other Desmidiaceae
Like to share more photos taken from the moor described in my article viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6386
Was very enthusiastic to view this kind of nice algea, so I have taken many photos. All done with oblique illumination.
Closterium Spec:
unknown Algeae:
I guess following algea are all "Euastrum humerosum var. humerosum":
Finall a skelleton:
Beg your pardon...maybe to many pics from the same algae.

Lovely images. Have not seen Closterium nor Euastrum in a while.
Very nice Oblique

Perhaps: Euastrum denticulatum and Euastrum ansatum?

Enjoyed these photos.
How did you "clear" the algae and exposed the skeleton?
I once mounted a green filamentous alga in cinnamon bark oil (it contains a powerful solvent) and it was rapidly cleared, but not as completely as yours.

Great series, I like them all. No such thing as too many
Excellent oblique effect.

Thanks Rod, Hobbyst & 75R!
Also there are others looking quite similiar, for example So Euastrum binale (TURP.) (https://www.moor-impressionen.at/galeri ... 001611.htm). Really difficult to distinguish.
For the second one Euastrum ansatum looks really very similiar, maybe this guy looks a bit wider then the one I captured? But I also did not found a thinner one
Both are hot candidates, I researched a bit and found that Euastrum denticulatum shall have spikes at each end, but these are missing one my photo.

To be honest this was nothing I prepared, the water sample already contained the skeletonHobbyst46 wrote:How did you "clear" the algae and exposed the skeleton?
