Do you mind sharing the Magnification at which the image is taken.
It is a ferrography image - Right ?

Not 100% sure i have my microscope set up to 100x but the camera that's attached to it does not have the same zoom. for comparision the large sphere in the middle is 60 micron in diameter. if that helps.
Hi Mark,
What is the oil life time of this sample? Is it happening just recently or have in a several time?
I assume these clear spherical particles are coagulant come from additive. It could be from additive of one oil that in-stable after use in a long period or two different oils that contain additive which are not compatible each other.
Are the particles solid or like a gel?
Hope you could find the answer.
