An update on the swan mussel article
by Mike Samworth
The glochidium larva of a swan mussel under crossed
polars.
For those who read my article in March
on the swan mussel larvae, I can now update you. I found that the
young larvae looked nice under crossed polars, and took some
photographs. The photomicrograph above is the result.
If any reader wishes to ask about any of the above, or to
comment, please do get in touch by contacting me Mike Samworth.
Editor's note: Also see Mike's June 1997 article on using cross
polarised light in microscopy.
