Draparnaldia, Fagilaria, and Volvox
I haven't been around in quite some time, but now that (unfortunately) I have some time on my hands, the microscopes were dusted off.

Thanks all!
Saul,
The second image (Fragilaria) was from a wet mount where I had scraped off a reddish surface "crud" from some twigs I collected at the edge of a marsh. I searched around the slide and found this arrangement where the diatoms were close to the cover slip. It was a DIC stack using either the 40X or 60X Olympus Plan Apo. Although it was somewhat distant from the subject, the background still became too well defined for my tastes. When this happens I sometimes take a single image from the stack (one with a pleasing "background" rendition) and retouch it in around my subject in Zerene Stacker.
