Lacrymaria olor - aka Swan Neck Animal
The protist Lacrymaria olor ("Swan neck tear") is notable for its ability to extend the anterior end of the cell up to 7 times its body length, and manipulate in many directions — even around obstacles — in order to capture its food.

When using your inverted scope for live specimens what sort of sample containers do you use?

Thanks Radazz & Wes
The micro-aquarium with 1mm thickness are very convenient. Recently I also have bought some cheap plastic petr-dishes where I drilled a 40mm dia hole & fix were I fix a 50mm round coverglas with vaseline.
