Thank you everyone for the quick response, will note it in my log book.

It was in with Diatoms I collected from Big Creek in Taney County, just
West of my home in Ozark county MO. So far the Diatoms range in size
from 240um down to 10 or less. Will post some photos once I sort
through them.

This critter is about 20um and moves quite fast, waited until most of water
evaporated to slow it down. 100x oil sorry for the poor quality,

My M200B is a very basic entry level scope without condenser, I be leave
that could be the main problem.

Welcome from one newbie to another, though after several months I
don't feel so new. All these guys feel like family.

I have AmScope T340B-DK-Led with 3 watt LED, equivalent about 15 watt tungsten. It is Brightfield / Dry Darkfield, I've used the 100x objective both dry, oiled first time yesterday and find no problem with the view with the 100x objective. I do see what might be a slight problem with dark field unde...

Dark field works well with 4x objective, haven't had much luck getting things to work with
10x and 40x. Fun project though.

Excellent image, hard to see any movement.
Nice detail including the red eye spot.

Dry Dark field images with one bright field.

Excellent images, keep up the great work.

Excellent photo, spiders have 8 eyes some have 6. I count 8 on this one.

Thank you for the additional information.
I've been machining PVC pipe as a holder
& drawing them on my CAD program for dark Field
when using my M200B.

Excellent image. Really stands out from the back ground.

Nice photo, as they say #%&! happens.
What is the size of these critters?

Checked out Wim Van Egmonds site on masks, could you supply a bit more detail with a photo or 2 of
your setup I could use as a starting.

Excellent photos, clear as a bell.

Looks like it doesn't like being held down by the tail.
The lighting gives a ghost like appearance.

Another Amoeba of several I will be posting

This might be common knowledge. Just a note on ceiling lighting from behind you while photographing or making videos with your scope. I have a trinocular scope with my laptop on my right side. While viewing the subject on the computer screen I noticed very dim off color circles on the bottom of the ...

Hi, I know the subject is Stitching but the subject of the photo ginkgo archegone & ginkgo biloba got my attention.
Did a search, found tons of information, Though still not sure what you have a photo of. More details please.

Excellent video & photos, another critter for me to pursue.

Wonderful Photos, and a continuing step in my education in the world of Protozoa.

Just a suggestion: One thing I learned years ago is Make sure the lighting is directly over your
work bench or work area. You want light shining directly down on your work project, not
behind you if possible.

Nice close up, I still haven't used my 100X objective with oil yet.
Need to find a good subject first.

Jim, I really like your 3 part series, photos are excellent.
I just have to lookup the meaning of those big long words.

Haven't found anything on the transformation time yet.
I do take photos also, just have a bunch of videos taken
since January that make certain critters more interesting.

This guy isn't the best representative but he had places to go in a hurry.

Another one of my early videos of many I will posting.

Thank you for the feed back, my scope (LED) did come with a filter but it appears to be green.
I am saving my camera settings for each objective but still have problems finding a white balance
setting that works consistently.

One of the best videos I've seen of Vorticella; these guys are always
on the top of my favorite viewing & video list.

Really nice, the red eye spots stand out.
I guess I have a thing about eye spots.
