Away from my tablet during Spring Break so expect some traditional stuff!

Studied some Volvox in my biology lab so I felt like drawing one

When I was at Magdalene my neighbour (an English literature Fellow) immediately sent me that Middlemarch reference when I told her about my research... 😅

There's more! In Eliot's 'Impressions of Theophrastus Such' she even names people #Volvox, Vorticella, Vibrio etc..

Microscopische foto tjokvol Volvox kolonies, een groenalg. Elke bol bestaat uit individuele cellen die samen een bol vormen. Veel van de bollen bevatten ook al dochterkolonies.

Volvox spheres: colonies of green algae. Most spheres also have daughter colonies inside of them.

Een serie microscopische opnamen van #Volvox van afgelopen zomer. Het is een groenalg die is samengesteld uit cellen die prachtige bolvormige kolonies vormen. De kolonies bevatten vaak al dochterkolonies die vrijkomen als zo’n bol uiteen valt.
