Letting a leaf slide dry overnight really makes the structures easier to see. I might have used KOH on this too. I was about to give up on ID of this moss, I only have tiny scraps of it, don't know what it grew on or even if it is an acrocarp or not. But bryonet came to the rescue and I now have an ID for this.
