Very nice video, the detail is outstanding. Far better than anything I’ve been able to do.

Absolutely awesome video. I find it difficult to record Condylostoma, you've done it very well.

Thanks for your comment.
Yes, it is a very active ciliate, it rarely stays still.

LouiseScot - Free2Fish Thanks.

Fabulous video! Most species of " Hemiophrys " have been transferred to Amphileptus , and this includes A. pleurosigma . The genus is still considered valid, but has only a few species left, and I don't think this is one of them. Your ciliate is surely an Amphileptus , but there are about 60 specie...

This is an amazing sequence. The aggressor searches and finds its victim. It's so systematic and purposive.

Thanks for your comment.

In this video we observe how the ciliate Amphileptus captures and "absorbs" a sessile ciliate, possibly Vorticella.

Beautiful photography. What is this? Is there real motion or is it just water currents?

Synura is colonial algae. They have flagella, so are capable of motion as a colony.

Synura are flagellated algae that live in colonies.
It moves with the movement of its flagellum.

Francisco,
Good footage !

Thanks.

Beautiful! The stalks are much longer here, and clearly have helical spasmonemes, so these are in the family Vorticellidae. They appear to be pseudocolonies, rather than true colonies (i.e. clusters of solitary peritrichs, rather than forming branched "trees", like Carchesium ). So, Vorticella, Pse...

Thanks Bruce.
In the water sample I found several of these "colonies"

Yes, they're very beautiful! Francisco, I can see why you're thinking of Campanella , because the golden colour is very similar. However, these have short contractile stalks (containing a spasmoneme, visible at 0:20-0:24), so they are definitely not in the genus Campanella , which has branching col...

Really fine images. The light is incredible. How did you get that?

Thanks for your comment.
I use a PZO microscope with DIC system
