Dileptus anser?
Dileptus anser?
Hello.
Another specimen from my microscopic zoo.
I think it's " Dileptus anser".
I base my opinion on my ignorance and on a zoology book, in which I found a similar illustration.
The video is quite long, but when I meet a large and majestically moving specimen, I can't take my camera's eye away from it.
Three shots:
12.5x dark field
25x bright field
40x brightfield
And of course post-production.
In my opinion, the raw material was of poor quality and not suitable for publication.

You really captured its 3 dimensionality

Yes, very nice! It is Spirostomomum teres. (In any case, Dileptus anser is now Pseudomonilicaryon anser ).

Dennis, macnmotion, Bruce Taylor thank you for your time.
Denis - thanks for the nice review
macnmotion - you can actually see the three-dimensionality of this object to some extent.
This may be due to the large thickness of the water layer between the slides.
So he had plenty of room to turn around.
Bruce Taylor - I'm just a humble microscopy hobbyist.
I don't know much about microorganisms.
I based my opinion on a book published in the last millennium, in 1983, so I could have missed something.
But I'm still learning, albeit with some difficulty.

Oops, there' a typo in the above ID! It should be: Spirostomum teres.
Reminds me of the old joke..."I know how to spell 'Banana', I just don't know when to stop."
