I saw your vids in the other thread. Great stuff. Your scope is much stronger than mine. I'd be interested to see closeups of dinos before/after peroxide. Only changes I can make out are no movement and theca separates.
Thanks a ton for the thread rec. Lots of info there relevant to what I'm looking into at the moment.

nope. 40x is sufficient for Dino ID to genus level - which is mostly all we care about. see
http://www.algaeid.com/identification/ for examples.
Lots of people note a smell with dinos. I used to think mine didn't smell until one of my students said the dino beakers smelled bad compared to the clean tank water beakers.
