Yep, it's a small water bear, I managed to film loads from that sample, I'll post a little video as soon as I found some time to edit it.

No idea how it happens but I've seen this behavior even at very large colonies, they are forming this kind of borders over areas leaving the interior completely empty, not necessarily ring shaped.

Hi,

Nikon Diaphot an Canon 600D

Thanks a lot, guys.

Beautiful and strange hooded rotifer, first time I find something like this.

Spinning like a Disco star. ))

Phase contrast with Nikon Diaphot and Canon 600D.

Again both a good catch and very nice Darkfield! Are they mail order animalcules? Note: Much easier to read without the chasing around ... :) No, I'm not ordering cultures, just using what I can find around me.

Tiny trumpets in the pond!

Thanks a lot for the tip. Tried it first time with the link and I thought is not working. Modified it ...

Hi Bogdan, thank you for showing! I got a bit dizzy when watching the video when reading the text while a sudden movement occured.

Superb! I admire your stage control... or are you cheating and using a joy stick? Either way, you've made a beautiful production, both informative and entertaining. I've started maintaining cultures of these critters. With the help of "Blepharisma..." by Geise I hope to induce some giants. Who coul...

Hello ladies and gents,

Please meet Blepharisma, this great red whale of protist world. )

Hi guys, I'm living in UK, doing microscopy as a hobby and still a beginner at this. Not much into micro-photography as my preferred subjects are refusing to stand still, i'm trying to video-document and identify all the interesting things I'm finding during my journey. Nothing fancy, no added music...
