    Default Phytoplankton Microscopy

    here are some pics and vids on some phytoplankton. i took these today after work using our awesome Ziess apotome microscope. some pics are at 400X others are oil immersion 690X the vids were taken from my phone while watching live via computer, sorry but our software doesnt have recording capabilities for the live view. also i wanted to shoot this in color but our color camera wasnt working today due to software issues so ill get on that another time.

    heres a couple shots of Nanno

    Where do you have access to this type of magnification? I would play with this all day. I'm hoping further in my college career I will be able to enjoy things like this.
    It takes a long long time to build a coral reef. Step by step the reefs survive on partnerships. And the most important partners are you and I.
