Have you tried cross polarized light? Amoebas are usually harder to see in bright field but their inserts glow in polarized light making them much easier to spot.
@@MarcosScope Thanks, I have polarization filters, I will try that. yesterday I realized that I’ve seen lots of Testate amoeba shells, didn’t know what they were. I’ll start by taking a closer look at those.
Absolutely beautiful video.
Thank you very much!!!!
Nice very nice
Thanks so much!!!
How’d you find it? I have yet to find one …
This one came from my aquarium, where I place my collections from hiking trips.
