I watched this fellow getting punctured in battle with some debris. It's internal leaked out.

Nice DIC image. This often happens when water evaporates and the cover glass presses on the microorganism and crushes it.

I was going to say the same thing but good image regardless.

Thanks for your comments! I think you are right. Cover glass pressure was too much.
