To start my 4th observation, I visited room 507 in the Hesler Biology Building (McFarland, 2013) on Tuesday, November 5, at 3:20 pm. I went over to the plastic tray that was the containing unit for the our aquariums, removed my aquarium carefully, and walked over to the Leica microscope with a Canon Rebel T3i attached to it. (I know a lot about cameras, you can ask Dr. McFarland).
"Leica Camera AG is an international company in the optical industry, with its headquarters based in Solms, Germany, and a second location in Portugal" (Leica, 2009). I enjoyed this equipment setup much more than the previous one. I made a total of two observations this week (11/5/13-11/8/12) and will post the next observation as blog #5.
Here are two NEW microbiological organisms that I found on 11/5/13.
*I found a very high quantity of the same organisms, so from here on out, I will only post new organisms.
species of
water mite (says Dr. McFarland). I enjoyed this
photograph because you can see the dark red
color of the organism, unlike before.
(McFarland, 2013)
The 2nd photograph is a picture of
Diatomophyceae or Diatoms. I chose to
include this photo because of the high
number of diatoms visible.
*ALSO* while looking at this picture, I noticed a unicellular amoeba with some blueish colored substrate within it's membrane. A very cool add to an already very cool picture.
