A single diatom of uncertain species, possibly Nitzschia palea or Nitzschia dissipata? Cultivated the specimens from an old mop bucket left in the garden and kept in a Petridish on my StudioLAB (SLAB)

I'd really appreciate feedback on this first video I've created with music using LMMS to accompany the original video also created in linux with microscope software ImageViewAlpha and video editor ShotCut. No special prizes for spotting spelling/typo mistake.

I'm struggling to keep motivated. Feeling sad at Mum & Dad transitioning on to the humanly unknowable place. Dad in Dec 23 now Mum Sept 25 :( Kind of just floating around as the funeral looms this Thursday. After the tears I hope that I can find a way to continue to develop the hobbyist microscopy and work on adding music/audio vibes for observer enjoyment. PBWYA-David...

The #Leitz APL OEL 1.32 S1.1 has arrived and is now fitted to the #Dialux 20EB's universal condenser.. I conducted a test of the condenser with a #live #blood slide preparation. The initial results are very promising. If you would like to follow along with my progress before anyone else, join my Telegram Channel https://t.me/micronicle0000 as that is what I use to make running notes of my #science #biology #liveblood #analysys using #microscopy.

I'm getting super excited to receive this condenser which is 100% matched to the #Leitz #Dialux 20/EB Universal Condenser.

Apparently, these Leitz high numerical aperture (na) condensers are like rocking horse nitrogenous compound. I managed to find this one on...

You'll be pleased to know, no mites were killed in the making of these images and video... The unsuspecting specimen was released without harm back into it's natural habitat - my home micronicle LAB... Besides there was a hungry Zebra spider lurking around the other day and I wouldn't want to deprive it of it's food source. (Possibly Two Spotted #Spider #Mite) Ventral Posterior View....
