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.

Does anyone know what it is? I could not see any cilia.

Punctured and dying
