Algae Images

Here are a few video image transfers, taken through a microscope, of algae from some of my tanks.

Red Brush Algae.: Though not always red, this tenacious and annoying breed seems impossible to eradicate without magic algae-eating fish. In this sample, you can clearly see the individual cells in a strand!
Cyanophyta: Some blue-green algae from a big mat of the stuff.
Cyanophyta (close-up): This is a closer view than the above image, so you can see the individual cells as "ribs" on each strand.
Java Moss: Okay, it's not algae, but it was interesting under the scope.
Mess of Algae: This sample was taken from the side of a badly-maintained goldfish tank. The rectangular "triscuit" shapes are brown algae (diatoms?), and the rest is a combination of green and blue-green algae.
