Spirostomum minus

#1 Post by janvangastel » Sat Mar 13, 2021 4:30 pm

I found these ciliates in my small pond. They are about 700 microns long. The adoral zone of membranelles is about 1/3 of the body length. First part is low magnification and bright field, second part 2.5x larger magnification and oblique illumination.
