Two Rotifers - Lepadella & Polyarthra

[hkv]

I see a lot of Rotifers in my samples. Some are more photogenic than others... Apparently there are more than 1500 different species of Rotifers. These two are Lepadella & Polyarthra. (Thank you member actinophrys for the ID!)

DIC. Note: I see that I have messed up my notes for these images and I am a bit uncertain which objective I used.

These are indeed lovely images. I'll second Polyarthra; the first is a Lepadella with the head extended. You can see the notch for the foot and the two red eyespots very well, both of which are characteristic. In Euchlanis the foot emerges from a wider space between the lorica plates and there is a single dorsal eyespot.

Ahh, thank you for the ID. I always have problem finding the right species/genus. I have updated the title of this post accordingly.
