20x, DIC

40x, DIC

40x, polarized light

Ecki,

Beautiful images, especially fourth and fifth one. Quality of the fifth image is superb !
What kind of microscope and optics do you use ?

Marek,

I use a Zeiss Axioscope with Neofluars and Apochromats. These are polish algae from the area around Posnan

I collected them when I visited last weekend.

Best regards
Ecki
