be careful as hell with them..they can trick you into thinking you are holding one only then the other falls on the floor.next thing you know your bleeding.. I've been lucky so far... However, I noticed that even the cover slips that are sold as "pre-cleaned" are dirty right out of the box, and the...

Very detailed an impressive video. You got some nice details of the oral cavity too. Well done!

Very interesting video!

Yeah, it definitely looks like an Euglenoid rather than a Rotifer. It is an amazing moment, nevertheless.

Sorry... broken link on the original post

That is a nice view of a beautiful Rotifer.

I think birds are the key to add diversity to your farm. Are you able to place water for them to drink for a couple of days?

Nice finding!

I like the natural colors of your image a lot.

Fantastic and very detailed view. Those are very interesting specimens. Thanks for sharing!

That is an Hypotrich for sure.

Congrats also for the music, it is perfect for the scene!

Brilliant! I enjoyed so much those dark fields... congrats!

You captured an awesome moment, Dennis!

I think that might be an usual scene in the microcosmos, a Frontonia eating a quite long cyanobacteria.

What an awesome gift for your mother, your pictures are amazing!

Very good tracking, all very smoothly done. Thank you, Phill. I'm glad you noticed that. I put a lot of effort on that regard to try to make the videos pleasant to observe. For the Citostome detail at 400 x, I must have taken 10 short videos to get just a few usable seconds. I learned watching tard...

Thanks guys for your feedback! 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. Thank you Dennis. I found two of them and they were indeed huge. Lovely ciliates, d...

Beautiful!

Impressive register!

After almost three years of looking for one, I finally found a Stentor Coeruleus. It was amazing to observe it through the eyepiece, such a magnificent specimen. I made a register of my observation on bright and dark field at 100, 200 and 400 x. Hope you like it!

Wonderful!

You got very detailed views.

Is there a way to check authenticity?

Do you know of fake ones?

No, just curious...

Fascinating! I love Stentors.

Welcome Jean-Marc!

Welcome, Isabelle!

Interesting content in your Instagram.

Very cool! Do you use alcohol to dissolve the Vitamin C? I desolve the vitamine in water first and after putting a few drops on the slide I add some alcohol to break the surface. a few days ago I cristalized the solution on the radiator but now i let it dry on my desk and get a better result. Untit...

Thanks guys, I'm glad you liked the video.

Excellent results of your work.
In my observations, I use the same lighting techniques as you.
But the results I get are much worse.

I think you make some very fine videos!

Cool!

A while ago I made a short video with different species of Rotifers, using bright and dark field, oblique and polarized illumination. Hope you like it!

NIce and relaxing!

Thanks for the additional info.
