The rare Arcella formosa

#1 Post by cuxlander » Mon Oct 02, 2017 10:25 am

Hello,

this is the rare Arcella formosa ( about 200 µm wide). It has so far only been found in a few locations in Canada, Netherlands, Hungary, Germany (Mecklenburg) and this year by me in a nearby fen:

and ventral.

For further pictures see my http://hans-rothauscher.de/testaceen/ar ... ml#formosa
and

Cheers,
Hans

Yes very good images. How did you get it to turn over? Great to see two views; same lighting, same magnification.
