    The PDF file which shows the photo better than the link you gave (at least for me) is here. This looks like a scanning electron micrograph so isn't in color and doesn't show the translucent nature you would see with a regular microscope. At least you can see that the cells are a slightly oblong spherical shape.

    Thanks...I'm still waiting on some slides to come in. But I've got them settling in in some glass jars

    Thanks...I'll certainly be getting back to you.

    Do you just need plain glass slides or something special?

    I ordered some regular plain slides and 10 concave slides as well. In the mean time I was going to see if I can get anything to grow.

    I added 32 ounces about a month ago and no more. I don't use weekly doses of polyquat but may start. My FC is now at 12 and I am starting to see the crap again. I brushed very well tonight and added 3 qts of bleach. When I think I got the stuff whipped it or something comes back. Can't figure it out. I may take some pics over the weekend and post. maybe it just dirt?
