Aphanocapsa?

Post by Olympusman »

From what I can find, this may be a species of Aphanocapsa 60x objective, UGF illumination, 10-shot Zerene stack.

Hmm, can't make sense of the illumination. What's the normal color?
Too big for Aphanocapsa, too much detail for Microcystis. Sometimes I think I see a pyrenoid, that would make it a chlorophyte. See what it does with lugol's, pyrenoids should become clearly stained with that.
