Apr 26, 2012 07:11 | #4 Thanks Kurt and Brian. Diatoms are so beautiful, even the empty shells. The living ones are great to watch, acting and doing things you would think only a sentient being would do. Or at least a dog. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Apr 26, 2012 12:24 | #6 Thanks Rick. There are too many kinds to count and these are only the Freshwater kind. There are a hundred times as many in salt water. Diatoms make up 42% of the weight of all living organisms in the worlds oceans. And there were 800 times as many that are not alive today as are alive. Think of that. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Apr 26, 2012 14:27 | #8 HAHA, Check out the Still Life and Experimental forum for that, but basically, you have to use LED lights for diamonds and crystals, cause they are colorless. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Apr 28, 2012 12:10 | #10 Thanks Rakesh. The living ones are fun to watch, as most of them move around and do things that are just incomprehensible. I have some video that shows that side of them. LOL Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Apr 28, 2012 13:16 | #12 Well, don't feel too bad, some of them are almost big enough to see with the naked eye. Tell her she is lucky, cause nobody has ever bought me a diamond. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
