Crustacean

#1 Post by tonikon » Thu Dec 31, 2020 11:57 am

Hi everyone,
using a DIY mixed technique (brightfield and through-glass-hemisphere lighting), I photographed this small crustacean in a water sample from a pond in my backyard.
Can any of you help me give it a name?
Ciao
Toni

It should be a Phyllopoda, but I can't determine the species with the guide I have (Streble/Krauter)...
