Diatom culture
This is the result of a two week culture of a sample taken from a stream. I used a commercial algae culturing solution in a 1L plastic bottle inoculated with a sample collected from a clump of hair algae found in the stream. I provided light and aeration which resulted in a dense culture of several species. 100x olympus S-plan Acromat. DIC flash 2 Frame focus stack.

It took two weeks from a natural stream sample as the inoculum
