First off Karl, I'm glad to hear you are feeling better. Very long bouts with illness of any sort are never anything close to positive. I hope soon you will be rid of it entirely!

In terms of looking familiar, it does, depending on scale. At largest scale, it looks like an algal filament with a long chain of individual cells, complete with cell walls defining each cell. At a much smaller scale, it almost resembles a strand of DNA, complete with the ladder rails and the cross-linked rungs. Regarding the circled images, you circled two different "units", which the whole string is made up of, and occurring in various orders / sequences. But the whole chain is made up of only two different types of "units" or building blocks. As mentioned by others, I look forward to your findings!
Also, I would like to complement you on your photos and the data documentation. That Leica 2000 made one heck of a difference, even tho you probably used the same camera as your original setup. However, your reporting of equipment, dates, times, scale, etc. is very professional and allows replication of your results. This is what a thorough scientific process should look like. Kudos!
Yes indeed, actually a friend took my image and circled it for an interview abroad last year when we were trying to find out why these patterns occurred everywhere. 8 couldn't find my original today so copied from her/him. Yes the patterns repeat, and this patterns are gel phase forms Of the dots. The dots are likely Q-dots of a more exotic nature or something very sililar. More fancy and capable than a standard Q-dot for simple biosensing or whatever. I haven't found any as clever as this in literature yet, but I'm sure they just bonded several separate ideas into one package.
