On this page I want to show you a set of pictures as a result of a 2019 sampling trip. The location was a sphagnum fen and the water was very rich, one could easily find over 100 different organisms.
Not too many different desmids though, anyhow I selected 2 for this post.
Differential interference contrast (3,5), Darkfield (1), Fluorescence (2,6) and transmitted light (4); it was fun to try all of those.
- Closterium lunula 25x oil
- Closterium lunula 21x
- Kellicottia bostoniensis 25x
- Micraterias truncata 100x oil
- Micraterias truncata 100x oil
- Spirogyra 21x
- Dragonfly larva. Seen from the back but because it’s transparant the mouth parts are also visible. I’ve combined all in this photo.
- Bosmina Longisrostris. A small water flea with an elephant nose.
- Dead Sphagnum with fluorescence, 21x objective.
