It might be challenging to image those bacterium with reflected light - it’s certainly beyond my current skill with focus stacking and 10x microscope objectives.

I guess that’s the excuse I need to purchase a darkfield condenser for my stereo microscope, lol.

I’ll have to look for that next time I am in the Dominican Republic. I know a few mangrove swamps there.
