I made good experiences in Experiment 3 (please look below for more information) because the Euglena reacted very sensitive to the light source and did not settle on the ground. | ||
After using the aquarium for experiment 3 and finishing it I pulled a new mask over the glass. It consists of a black nontransparent back and three transparent foils at the front. I put the installation in front of the daylight lamp again and waited for two hours. | After using the aquarium for experiment 3 and finishing it I pulled a new mask over the glass.

After one and a half hour of illumination I reached a more satisfying result then before. On the bottom there were three separeted stripes clearly visible. As I knew Euglena is not able to see red light and maybe also orange because it is a mixture of yellow and red. All the other colors - yellow, green and blue - seem to be transparent and light enough to be a good concentration point. Between those stripes were thin parts where the colors overlapped and made a darker shade. Those areas are clear and not (or only less) besieged by the organisms. | |||
