Wow, Milan, that's a really awful pic. Can you borrow a digital
camera from your department? This can give good results, shooting
through a 5cm handlens (play with the zoom and lighting).

 From what I CAN see, it looks suspiciously like a Zygochlamys...
which is a bit unlikely if it's northern. Not from Egorov, by any
chance...?
