Arcella mitrata
Arcella mitrata
Hello,
I would like to show you this testate amoeba Arcella mitrata, one of the most beautiful arcellae:
looking from bottom into the mouth with its crenulated rim.

Really fantastic image.
Any preparation details? We love details

Hello,
I am glad you like the photo. And yes I owe you a few details.
billben: No preparation, the specimen came straight from the pond. I was lucky to get a young one (the older the darker and opaquer) with a tidy test. And I was again lucky to be able to turn it into this position.
I stacked about a dozen frames with Picolay.
Only very little editing, slightly more contrast and sharpening, and I removed the background.
Size of the test about 125 µm.
Here is one focal plane of the same individuum:
The sarcode does not fill the test, but is attached to it by so called epipodia. See the rim of the mouth turned outwards within the convex bottom.

Re: Arcella mitrata
Hello 75RR,
Objective was 40x Achromat (Müller)
I like to use cavity slides, they provide a small aquarium for live organisms, fragile objects do not crush too easily in there, and turning your objects is a bit easier.
Big disadvantage for the photographer: organismes have more space to move, and the extra water layer reduces quality :
Turning is 2% skill and 98% luck. I tip on the cover glass with a needle, caaaarefully push it sideways.
Cheers,
Hans

No, my old one. I received the Zeiss Junior in September, before that I used the Müller and the Tucsen Camera for several years.
