These are not Paramecia, but hypotrich ciliates. If you look closely at the front (anterior) end of the cell, you can see polykinetids ("collar" membranelles), which are not present in Paramecium.

Thanks you! I am learning

Hi!

I've uploaded a paramecium conjugation video. It seems that they are dancing

Ok! No problem!

Now I understand it... It was so difficult for me

English is my native tongue and I don't recognize that word either.

Definitely a Nematode. Champion wigglers

Thx! I don't understand exactly the word "spazee". Is it some like "bad boy"?

Your first picture is rotifer of some kind. Phylum Rotaria. The tail at the back is not a stinger but a means to attach to the substrate. The last two pictures are some sort of flatworm (like Planeria). Phylum Platyhelmenthes; Class Turbellaria. Thanks! the second, do you think is it possible "macr...

Hi!

The third could be a brachionus plicatilis?

Regards?

Thank you for the advises!

I'm very interested in this matter. I don't know why but I interest much...

I enjoy my microscope with other observations too. I am beginning to love the protist world. It's very interesting!

Regards!

Hi!

Please, Could you confirm me if it is a nematode?

Hi!

Yesterday I was searching protist in my aquarium's water. I found several types and I would like to confirm to learn more about them.

If it is neccesary, I have videos of all of them.

When I confirm all types, I will upload the videos.

Thank you!

Hi! Is there any guide or similar document with precautions about working with bacterias growns and how to throw away after? or... Could you recommend me some tips? I thought to use gloves and mask. After, I also thought to use bleach over the petri dishes and then boil it. ¿Do you think this is eno...

Most bacteria are hard to see at 640X in bright field. I am assuming you have only BF. If you can find some sort of stain, even some food colouring or turmeric, paprika, saffron( there is some very cheap saffron from China, the restaurants use), beet juice or tincture of iodine. Iodine will of cour...

I see this post is "old"... but I am interested about it.. I have a Sony a100 camera I was thinking about to buy this adapter, but Is it only the adapter without magnification, isn't it? https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Camera-Photo/Solomark-Mount-Camera-Adapter-Microscope-23-2mm-Eyepiece/B016AGYVUW Is th...

Hi!

I come back with this matter hahaha

I want to see some bacteria. One at least...

¿Which bacterias can I see with my 40x objective (and 16x ocular)? ¿How could I grow them?

I think there are 50 microns bacterias, but I don't know which of them

Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad!

I'm very sad... I've confirmed I need a 100x objective to view bacteries... I've made my first Gram stain, but I can't identify bacteries... Thanks! Hi Txiki, Sorry but I am slightly confused by "identify", do you mean you can see bacteria but cannot categerise them or that you cannot see any bacte...

Gracias JimT!

Thank you JimT!

Perfect!

I take notes

Thanks!

Yes, I will do that!

I'm Spanish, from Madrid.

Thanks!

Yes, I asked Bresser about the possiblities to improve it, but it isn't possible... But I've been thinking and really it isn't a problem... I must enjoy it as I'm enjoying it! I really had not seen the web... just the forum :roll: but... the magazine is amazing! What an ideas! :D This forum is been ...

Thanks!

I'm going to search in this book But I think I will have to do other observation to get more datails.

Regards!

Thanks Charlie and Happy New Year for you too!

I didn't see more... It was a strange observation, because I had a duplicate coverslide... :-/

This week I will try a new observation, if I can...

Regards!

Hi!

I viewed it last night. It's smaller than others in the same water. I've calculated 20-50 microns more or less.

Is possible can I know the type of protozoo?

Hi,

Sorry for the quality, I make a beginner mistake, I had other dirty coverslip over the main one.

Is it a paramecium? Do you know the type more or less?

Thanks!

Thanks JimT! I'm Spanish, I'm from Madrid. I don't know if I understand the correct mean of "debris". ¿Is it anything like "bit of waste"? ¿What type of bacterias can I view with my 40x objective? And ¿How can I get them? I grew this bacterias in petri dishes (Really I don' know if there were someth...

Thanks for the advice,

I will learn about the microscope.

Regards!

Yeah! I'm going to enjoy this one, learn about microscopy, if I like it as now in the future I will buy other one better :-) Even I have a youtube channel hahaha, because my father asked me for videos and I thought it was the best way. Take care your eyes, some videos are very lamentable... :-p http...

Thanks!

Yes, I will do it. I hope it could be...

Thank you very much!
