First of all I cooked a medium for Euglena which should promote the reproduction. It contains specific nutrients. Combined with a light position, e.g. at the window or in front of a lamp, they should accrete fast. | First of all I cooked a medium for Euglena which should promote the reproduction.

Those microorganisms cannot be seen with the naked eye but if the population increases, the medium becomes greenish. This is my target goal because this is the state I want to work with. | Those microorganisms cannot be seen with the naked eye but if the population increases, the medium becomes greenish.

A small microscope is my tool to observe Euglena. It has no light but a tiny mirror, so I use a flashlight to operate the microscope. | |||
For having an overview of my work and making sure that I can work from home because of the not predictable Covid semester I build a little Euglena Workstation. It includes enough space to place all my tools and do experiments. Also, I can easily move it and position it to places which are reached by the sunlight to optimize Euglena’s growing. | For having an overview of my work and making sure that I can work from home because of the not predictable Covid semester I build a little Euglena Workstation.
