Photomicrograph of a filament of bacterial cells at 1000x magnification with Hoffman Modulation Contrast optics. The Nikon Coolpix 885 camera, set at 3x optical zoom, provides further magnification. These bacteria closely resemble the iron bacteria Thiobacillus ferrodixans, although DNA tests and culture tests have not been performed to confirm such an identification.
