Only by using a microscope is the scale revealed of our microplastic rubbish that litters my plankton samples and the once pristine sea surface from where it now enters the marine food chain. ZEISS Microscopy

@zeiss_micro we're going to choke from the inside out

@zeiss_micro @forellana2 @AcademiaAgp mira lo que son también capaces los microscopios en el agua marina

@zeiss_micro What's the scale on this? Can you see it with a home microscope?

@zeiss_micro To give an ~scale, the diameter of the golden diatoms is ~300 µm and the copepods at 0:06s are ~1 mm in length.

@zeiss_micro What qualitative tests do you use to confirm these are microplastics?

@zeiss_micro Sad.

@zeiss_micro @planktonpat, check it out!

@zeiss_micro Now that is some HARD data!

@zeiss_micro democrats n greenies to blame - paper or plastic suck butt's ! ruin of a planet !
