This fluorescent #microscope image shows microalgae cells Haematococcus pluvialis from the collection of the Department of Botany and Plant Ecology of @karazinuniver. Haematococcus pluvialis has a wall consisting of glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and a biopolymer of sporopolinin (bright gray wall in phase contrast). The bright gray granules inside the cells are pyrenoids consisting of enzymes and starch while red autofluorescence are chloroplasts.

"Peacock Plumage" 🦚 captured by @micromundusphotography using Olympus X-Line objectives! #REPOST Peacocks are known for their bright colors. However, when their feathers are wet they appear brown which indicates that the bright colors aren’t a result of pigmentation. Something else is going on! Peacocks achieve its stunning plumage display through structural coloration, more commonly known as iridescence. Structural coloration results from a lightwave interaction with the surface. The light can be reflected, refracted, or sometimes both, and the effect is angle dependent. Depending on the angle and the wavelength, lightwaves may constructively or destructively interfere with each other resulting in different colors and brightness.It turned out to be very difficult to photograph these feathers. Reflections were very difficult to eliminate which made focus stacking impossible as white spots does not have sufficient contrast and was confusing the focus stacking software. I ended up using three levels of diffusers. 4 external light sources, all equipped with double diffusers. The first one a small test tube in plastic surrounded by a ping-pong ball. Then a half ping-pong ball was used over the objective to cover the specimens. The extreme level of diffusion ended up in a result that almost in a painterly style. In some images I used very faint red backlight to enhance the contrast of the feather. Magnification is about 40 times using the new Olympus X Line objective UPLXAPO4X. #olympus #microscopy #microscope #micro #microscopic #microscopes #nature #science #research #optics #imaging #objective #photooftheday #peacock #peacockfeathers #feathers #photomicrograph #🔬
