Summer workshop 2020 of the MGW

From 31.07. - 03.08.2020 the summer workshop of the Mikroskopischen Gesellschaft Wien (MGW) took place. Not only MGW members but also guests (among others from Germany and Switzerland) met at Schloß Weinberg (Upper Austria). Beside excursions various preparation techniques were demonstrated and participants presented their working methods as well as some of their main focus topics. The days were also used for intens discussions and exchange of ideas.

Thanks to Thilo Bauer for documenting the event with his camera!

Cup-marked stones are a speciality of the forst quarter (Waldviertel) (Lower Austria). Those deepenings
are filled with rainwater. Such small water bodies accomodate some very typical algae species.
This year no aglaes could be found. Very disappointing.

But, even with considerable efforts, no results.

And what can be found in a dry moss cushion?

At least a small sample will be taken home.
