Karl, I wrote you (it seems) in Telegram.

I’m ready to give away electron microscope for your research or for one of your trusted partners, please let me know either here or in telegram.

It’s in Berlin currently, not really sure it’s possible to send it to USA, but probably you have interested colleagues in Europe

I've just looked at our filtered (Carbon 0.2micron) rainwater we use for drinking that we collect from a property about 400Km north of Sydney (NW of Kempsey) & found nothing in it so then checked water from the tap at our living space on the Central Coast NSW & found a large cloud of microdot things in that. Unfortunately my pathological microscope doesn't have a camera attachment but does have a dark field filter which allows me to see this junk material. I only have some old slides that appear to have micro scratches & what looks like mould spores that I can't seem to rub off even with something like windex. I'm curious to know Matt whether you have checked bare slides to see if there is any pre contamination before adding specimens since a lot of what I've seen on mine does look a lot like the things I am seeing in yours & David Nixon's images. I also note that after making some colloidal Gold & filtering sediment from the new batches I get a collection of what looks like coagulated Gold micro clusters in the filter paper. This stuff seems to occur more often if I've left my electrical equipment on & the spark gap has collapsed leading to a direct heating effect which then precipitates the Gold nano particles out into a black sludge. I've then looked at a small lump of this stuff under a 40x scope & see these tiny fibers coming out of the sample that also remind me of those I'm seeing in your slides.
