Lovely! Do you happen to know, what are the small angular black bodies?

Hi Rik,
thanks for your comments. the small bodies,according to Patterson(book:free-living freshwater protozoa) are cristals,but I don't know what kind...
best regards

Olivier,

oblique light work well sometimes... Smile

Yes... especially for photography. Sometimes a very "slight" oblique light is hardly noticeable when viewing, but makes a significant improvement in the appearance of the recorded image.

Hi Olivier

once again an excellent shot. Bravo!!

In our German forum we are frequently discussing if those rather expensive microcams by Motic, Zeiss etc. make any sense (not to mention good pics

)

How expensive was your Microcular? Is it that sort of 300 € thing?

Another question: what makes you think this is a Paramecium? It looks like a Frontonia to me.

Salut

Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
I paid 300 € for my cam.today the price is 359.you can see it on the website www.microscopes.fr (brand:Bresser)
it's a paramecia,but it's flatened by coverglass.before this,I saw it swiming and for me,no doubt.
salut!
