Hello Marek,

I like the graphic effect in this picture. It is a good demonstration that it is also possible to make excellent photos in bright field!

Marek, very beautiful as art, but especially as brightfield images. I have never seen stentor in this configuration either.

Excellent. A very good point from Franz.

Thank you all for comments.
The bright field photografphs are relatively rare at this forum, so I've wanted to change it

Most of the most visually attractive images are usually taken with special techniques of lighting - DIC, darkfield, polarized light and Rheinberg.
If about my image the most important is fact that it was possible to catch these three stentors together. I've managed to get the sample with a lot of green stentors. Many of them were in division so I could observe this process.

Marek, I have not yet seen stentors under my microscope. Do they led themselves well to bright field because they are less transparent or dencer than other subjects? Very nice image.

Walt,

Thank you for your nice comment.
There was no special reason to take this photograph in bright field. I took some photographs in polarized light too but photographs in bright field seemed to me better. I below enclose an image of some single individual photographed in polarized light for the example.
