I revisited some old stacks which I have failed to nail. In this stack I found that the some of the single images were good by themselves, so I selected this one which had halo rings in the background. It is an egg from Artemia Salina in DIC.

Understood artemia eggs are common fish food; dry eggs can be bought, add water and 90% will turn into brine shrimps. Don't know if you tried but this may be another interesting experiment to watch the development through the microscope.
Dave Walker wrote an interesting article about this on Miscape a couple of years ago:
