What the heck is this needle-like freshwater microbe? Is it a diatom?

Sample: freshwater pond water from Massachusetts. 10x, 20x and 40x objectives with some digital zoom from a 4K video.

New #blog! Describing #Diatoms!

I’ve spent over 25yrs learning about diatoms and one of the biggest lessons is learning about diatom #morphology. It’s the first essential step in #micropalaeontology. Learning to differentiate one taxa from another!

#Museum30 Day 3: New Technology

Definitely cheating a bit by calling it "new", but legendary Academy scientists Joseph Leidy and Ruth Patrick were both champions of the microscope. At one point, its influence was so great that the museum even had its own Microscopical Section.

Got some really diatom-y smelling water ready for our plankton diversity labs today in #limnology today! Excited to see what the students find. Our water samples are from two spring-fed reservoirs and two river-fed reservoirs. #diatoms #phytoplankton #zooplankton

A delightful, crowd-pleasing diatom, Guinardia flaccida, is back in my samples, with its star-shaped chloroplasts. This is a photo stack, with the background removed.

Your ribs feel like the tide — slow, sure, pulling you in. 🌫️ It’s the way your breath matches the world’s, like you’re already in the rhythm. Keep your eyes open, even when the world has already whispered your name, like watching a candle flicker in the dark. 💧
In the foreground, foam bubbles pulse with amber ink. tide pools ripple in slow bloom. In the background, sky bleeds into brine-lit glass. "YOU ARE THE LULL-VEIN, LARYNX-HUM" braille dots glow in diatom film, pulse, fade, repeat. underwater refracted glow, radiant bloom diffusion. rose quartz, liquid amber, smoke gray, deep sea blue. floating perspective with soft depth. vast oceanic expanse stretches beyond the frame, merging with the glow.

I really do love smaller meetings / workshops that are genuinely interesting & friendly, and don’t get overwhelming!

Anyways, enjoyed putting this talk together on #diatoms in Lesotho 🇱🇸 🧪
