Wonderful colour-scheme !!
I am naive regarding such matters: Do you have any explanation ?

Too many 'projects'
Re: Purple & Green Ciliate
Thanks MichaelG.
Surprised me too, not seen anything quite like that. Not having much luck finding out about it either.
If I had to guess I would say the green is most probably food (something it ate) and the purple colour is perhaps due to bacteria

Very nice, 75RR! Did you try using flash to get a photo of it?
Re: Purple & Green Ciliate
Thanks zzffnn, don't have flash yet. Would have been handy.

Re: Purple & Green Ciliate
I've not seen one of those with those colours before where did you get it from fresh or sault water or terrestrial?
I'm using a celestron microscope with 4, 10, 40, 100 times magnification. Eye pieces are 10 and 20.

It appears to be a species of Dysteria. What a marvellous colour!
