Wow, Olivier

what a wonderful scene. The way these "bodyguards" sort of shield the division is hilarious!

Merci beaucoup!

Bernhard

Beautiful work! It looks like it's hard to find privacy under a slide.

Olivier,
I also like the composition, and appreciate that the subjects are not "flattened" by the cover slip (as is so often seen in photos of paramecium). And still, you were able to get excellent detail and focus over all the individuals. Very nice!

Great composition and the trichocysts are well defined. Reminds me of a row of battleships.
