Hi everyone. I would really appreciate a second opinion about these freshwater diatoms, at least about their genera. Any help is extremely appreciated! Images are numbered and there's a scale bar in each of them. Thanks in advance!

G'day Vladimir,
If I could offer my suggestions:
Images 1, 2, 3 4, 6 - Pinnularia spp.
Images 5 & 7 - I'm less confident about, but possibly Pinnularia also?
Those with empty frustules are most difficult to identify.
I hope this helps, but diatoms are by no means my strength. Hopefully those with knowledge of diatoms will offer their thoughts.
Cheers,
Adam
