Tardigrades found in Moss

#1 Post by Engineer28 » Sat Jun 02, 2018 1:00 am

I found some moss in my backyard this afternoon and decided to take a sample of it and look at it under the microscope. Unknowingly, I found a hotbed for some Tardigrades.

Good catch and good images! I have yet to see one pose for the camera for long.
Zeiss Standard WL (somewhat fashion challenged) & Wild M8
Olympus E-P2 (Micro Four Thirds Camera)
