great photos, only that the desmid is really a diatom, maybe cymbella or navicula, but you capture very good detail of all of them. If i'm not mistaken you take those photos with DIC technique?

Sorry, it's of course a diatom. Thanks.
No, it's no DIC but simple oblique light.
I use an easy to make home-made Kreutz filter
