Re: Spring Sphagnum Squeeze
Nice. What was the magnification and sensor size for the diatoms? 40x APS?

The rotifier and amoeba are really nice..
Re: Spring Sphagnum Squeeze
Thanks!
Something else I found in the same spot was a filament of Spirogyra that had produced a couple of asexual aplanospores, the other filament in the image is a Zygnema I believe.

Spirogyra with aplanospores. .
From the same sample are a couple of diatoms with a Helizoan amoeba (I think that's what it is).
