Microscopy Thread

I may not have found a certain species some years ago when assigning this to the Foraminifera but determined it due to the chamber on the right end and the numerous openings all over this test.

I'm just wondering what is happening with those that have a "closed" tube instead or look like two individuals fused together.

I think this is something completely differnt, only the general shapes are similar. In fact, if you do an accurate comparison, they are not so similar. This may be a fungus or alga but it doesn't look like a test.
