Actinosphaerium cell division

Post by Luis Carlos »

The video shows two cell division processes of the Heliozoan Actinosphaerium eichhorni.
I was lucky to observe four processes of division in a single preparation!

Lovely!

But, why are the diatoms orange-red in the video and green in these still photos?

Thanks Tom and Rik
Rik: It's simple, I decided to make some adjustments with my video editor after taking the stills. In any case, as soon as you use polarized light (as in DIC) you get "false" colors
