Great video. Oblique illumination is more difficult with a 40x objective but your method is working very well.

Pd. You can rotate the lens to get the desired effect

Thanks Rogelio
I'm waiting to see if anyone can distinguish whether is Difflugia gramen or Netzelia oviformis

Nice work, Carlos! I think I see "scavenged" particles in the test, which would suggest a Difflugia...but I hope Ferry will see this and comment.

Nice video. I have also found a 3 lobed Difflugia. You can check Ferry's website for an ID, until he shows up. His site is well worth bookmarking for future reference.

Hey. I have taken the data from the wonderful Ferry site.
For that reason I am waiting for her opinion, since Netzelia oviformis also has 3 lobes and similar characteristics

Thank you very much Ferry!
I congratulate you for your excellent website.
How it differs Netzelia Oviformis from Gramen Difflugia?
In the composition of the testa?
A great greeting
