A second session with the video camera on the microscope. This time with some water taken from the main pond:
During a search of the net I found a few pdf files to help me identify what I can see.
The first clip has a small round green diatom (bottom left) but I can't work out what the transparent creature is (centre screen).
The second clip shows several diatoms.
The final clip, my favourite, shows a rotifer (I hope).
All were observed using the same 100x objective with the video camera adding some more magnification as the view is larger than the sensor.
Makes sense. It's spinning like a top. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Results are better than I expected. The investment in the old Vickers microscope is beginning to pay off.
ReplyDeleteWow! It's a very Quatermass world in there!
ReplyDeleteIt is SDT. Some weird and wonderful creatures to be discovered.
Deleteinteresting the tiny organisms that exist.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what you have in your large pond TWG. Probably better off not knowing ;)
