The little thing probably didn't even know it was being eaten. It's just a machine.

Oh yea, all of a sudden you can speak Rotifer.

Macnmotion,

Well that was vicious !

She goes for the 100X which I think she pre focused with a lower objective but she could have said that.

Macnmotion,

Good footage.

Harry, For an experiment if you have a Harbor Freight Tools store near you they have several LED lights priced VERY inexpensive. Maybe just a temp fix or whatever. https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AL%5FYfF112TzZS9Y&cid=55153FC6AC252667&id=55153FC6AC252667%2110150&parId=55153FC6AC252667%219902&o...

Imkap,

Good stuff but the close up near the end was scaring me!

WWWW,

Nice searching.
I might have missed that one !

Thanks again Bruce, Here the real "show" would have been if that debris wasn't at the end and "Kingy" ate that long bacteria ! There were other ones in that water sample, a few big ones also, but they were movers instead of grazers. I know the place at Strawbridge Lake and will try in Spring to see ...

rcmjonesmicro,

Welcome to the forum !

Prasmoski,

Welcome to the forum !

microplan, Find something else to do. My water sample jar has a ton of water fleas swimming around fast and if you put a cover slip on the slide usually they will be pinned down. This is okay for a few to see them good but rotifers and water fleas do get boring when you want to see new things. Sprin...

Javier- I think "King" was just doing tricks not eating. He stretched himself way out and when he couldn't stretch anymore he had to push that sediment down further to do so. I am not sure though if he was tasting it cause my book says they can eat cyanobacteria. (Protozoological Monographs Vol. 3, ...

Macnmotion,

That is not a Paramecium.
It is huge.

I am looking through my book- Could be a Frontonia.

Nobody commented and the video might have been a hair long and I do not know if anyone ...

Javier,

Very good look you have with that scope.
When I get Stentors they are the Stentor roeselii
(as was my beloved "Stretch.")
I see yours is a fine size by comparing the Paramecium.

Another life has been born into this world.

macnmotion,
That got rough at the end.

WWWW,
Good views of the Blue Trumpet !

microplan,

Good footage.

Matt,
That is one beautiful bee !

macnmotion,

Priceless footage !
I would guess it is a rotifer.

Imkap, Thanks, But I am usually lacking patience for selling individual items. I usually bulk sell anything. Also I really get into the packaging! I have wood clamps and glue gluing layers of card board together etc with all my packages. UPDATE- I kept lowering the price and no takers plus I remembe...

https://cosmosmagazine.com/science/biology/ten-tiny-but-terrifying-micro-monsters/ The other day I gave myself a crew cut hair cut and looked at some hairs. I sure do have straight hair (brown and gray and white) like nylon guitar strings. Anyhow if I would have seen tiny critters I would be shampo...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/195552826801 I dropped the price to 250 dollars. I bought it used for 325 years ago minus the Nikon objectives added in which do not really fit but in a pinch maybe could be used on another scope say if you were out a 20X. You have to know what you are doing to re- center f...

Nacho Ben,
That is some great footage !

Fuchsian,

Welcome to the forum.

Microplan,

Yes that is a division in the process.

Charlie, You are correct at least in my finding- I bought a AmScope 2X objective for half price sale which I think was still about 20 bucks. I couldn't seem to center the Nikon scope's condenser to not get a corner darker. And as you said less sharp quality. Now also I have a Stereoscope microscope ...

macnmotion,

Good footage ! If it was me I would have at least put mustard on it. Haha

Microplan,
That is what I do. Raise the condenser and off center it etc...
