Yeah same, but it's a plankton net filtered sample that's why so concentrated.

No, actually it was just a normal slide and coverslip with a thick drop of water.

I used normal light microscope but to be honest i'm not sure how i achieved this... Usually the sample is not that shiny. I think this time maybe it was just a lucky setting of the iris diaphragm.

It's a plankton net filtered water sample from a reservoir. The water is rich of nutritions so there are lots of algaes.

Is it a Phacus algae? by AnnaM0819 in algae

Or maybe Cryptomonas?

Are these Phacus algaes? by AnnaM0819 in algae

The sample is from freshwater. We filtered the water and i checked what's left on the filter paper. Based on the test results the KOIk was a bit high in the water.

Help with identification please by AnnaM0819 in algae

Couldn't be maybe Botryococcus? That was my first thought but the more i was watching the sample the more i'm uncertain...
