For some reason I decided to start up my phytoplankton cultures again, even though I strongly suspect it's more trouble than it's worth. BUt that's a different discussion....
I went cheap and bought my starter from ebay like a fool. The culture I got was horribly contaminated. But I rolled up my sleeves and filtered and split several times until I got something that looks reasonably clean.
But...I'm not sure if this is actually nanno? It looks too big, and oblong not round like my previous nanno culture (based on memory, was a long time ago). I think it's actually tetraselmis? Is there any expert on here that can ID?

Sorry I don't have a proper mount for my microscope. The sound in the background is my wife's korean drama, lol
magnification is 320x
