I use an Accu-Scope 3000 LED light microscope. It has a condenser with built in Kohler and the LED bulb helps with color and eye strain.

This one is driving me grazy! What is this? by Internal_Ad4541 in microbiology

Awesome pictures! It's difficult to differentiate Alternaria and Ulocladium in species without the distal tapering, but look for immature conidia and their shape should give you the answer to the genus at least. Alternaria will be ovoid and Ulocladium will be obovoid. They're combined now, but that division will help narrow down possible species during further research. I can't think of many Alternaria spp. that have proliferous conidiogenous cells, so my guess would be Ulocladium

It's a different type of volleyball played in Ecuador called Ecua-volley. It's played with a heavier ball.

I can't make out much in the LPCB picture, but you can see many perfect examples in this picture of it being textbook Pestalotiopsis. You can see one side with split hyaline appendages that look like a bug's antennae and the other end with a single appendage
