Extraordinary composition, it reminds me Escher's bird or fish geometric drawings

They are beauties! The second one is the nicest; a bit more tranquile.

These are very trippy. For a moment I was suffering subject/background inversion, and I couldn't figure out what the featureless gray critters were.

Absolutly amazing and stuning images !
My first sensation was very similar to Rik's one. I was slightly confused

How did you managed to gather such many individuals in one place and how is it done that in the image we can see only Scenedesmus, no other species or any debris ?

Perhaps it is Scenedesmus accumulatus.

Very nice! These mass developments normally attract parasites, too. Watch your sample carefully and you might find interesting scenes of fungal parasites attacking.

Thank you very much for your comments.

A friend that is ecologist, she is doing a research of them, sent me some samples.
