Hi,
Human sperm cells.

Not better pictures, but maybe mine come with a better color

Found ones like this in a sample once, in a concentration of 10.000/liter:

This was a sample from a seawater aquarium. Anyone care for a guess who's responsible?

Best wishes, René.

Hi Olivier, this was a sample from a Dolphinarium. We carry out regular checks for toxic algae and such. Imagine my surprise to find these things in there. When asked, they confirmed the presence of a young excited common bottlenose dolphin in the basin

I'm surprised by the likeness, also the size is very comparable.

Best wishes, René
