Re: Looking for a NICE dust cover
I found a place online that makes outdoor covers for grills and furniture, and also had a heavy clear material for taxi seat covers. Looks very nice. Could you give a link to the company? If postage to my place would be reasonable I am interested. However, the cover pattern/cutting instructions wou...

Re: Looking for a NICE dust cover
I'm in Bangkok. I found a place online that makes outdoor covers for grills and furniture, and also had a heavy clear material for taxi seat covers. I had them make me a cover for my scope, and one for my flat top. Total cost about US$12. I had it made with some extra room so that it would slip on a...

Marine Gastropod (snail) Veliger
In addition to the marine bivalve veligers I posted a video of yesterday, I also captured some footage of a Gastropod -- in this case a snail. The lobed velum, used by the larva to swim and collect food, is very clear here.

Fantastic imaging, well made video. As educational as it is beautiful. I especially liked your capture of the interplay between the contractile vacuoles and radiating canals.

Re: Synura algae
Synura is colonial algae. They have flagella, so are capable of motion as a colony.DonSchaeffer wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 9:09 pmBeautiful photography. What is this? Is there real motion or is it just water currents?

Re: 1/4 wave filter source
I've bought 1/4 lambda wave plate filters from the following seller on ebay. I don't see 60mm listed but maybe you can contact them and ask if that's something they can get for you. https://www.ebay.com/str/techno2020?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4AmZanewT1m&sssrc=3418065&ssuid=Li8...

Re: Unknown freshwater ciliate
We see a stiff, domed cell, with a long AZM, strong caudal cirri and no marginal cirri . It's Euplotes sp., seen from the dorsal aspect. The critter is in some distress: the contractile vacuole is distended, the caudal cirri are rather floppy, and the cell is spinning erratically. Thank you Bruce. ...

Re: Spirostomum in BF and DF
Nice videos...they raise the question for me of how ( with such large protists)..does a microscopist image capture detailed resolution of the cilia and contractile structures..and keep a sense of the entire ciliate.

Can anyone identify this ciliate? Freshwater sample from a large water planter at a local park in Bangkok. Ciliate is about 35-40 microns in length.
