It is just a try. I just want to check if you see 
some organic cells, like those you can see trought 
microscope. What can I do (pov effects) to make the
cells be more like cells?

try a filtered layered texture / texture map / something. it's only way to
add organic look to surfaces, if you're not using image maps.
just vary colors a bit in each layer.
and some normal too?

    The cells look good compared to the background. In my microscope, the
background is always textured. Small air bubbles, changes in color, some
specular highlights and maybe a little peice of lint on the lens.

...and add some refraction to them.

Add some more randomness to them...give them a less plain texture for 
the outer parts(with little globules and organelles inside) and make it 
so they aren't all pointing in the same direction(the black spots all 
seem to be on the left side of the nucleus). Add some assorted debris in 
their environment, maybe a couple different kinds of cells. Even just 
one "misfit" would add interest. The suggestion for refraction was good, 
but there doesn't seem much for them to refract. Maybe make a more 
prominent cell wall.

I thought of a few or just one splitting cell when i first looked...
I am glad you are considering my idea... =)

make them almost totally transparent, that should do it
