Organized Things

[DonSchaeffer]

I am accustomed to looking under the microscope at things that have the look of life. Often they have a familiar organized shape, having the familiar figuration of an organism. But I don't always capture lifelike motion in them. I know, some of what I see are simply not currently alive, some are in a form of "resting state," and some are alive but simply don't move much. We microscopists like motion in our subjects. I, for one, don't know how to treat organism looking things that don't want to behave.

Don,
Alright. Did you poison the Rotifers ?

Don,
I recognize your problem.
Some animals moves very slowly, some are dead. I saw some empty shells, some are cysts.
Greenalgae, diatoms goldalgae are mostly recognized by their typical colors. But also here you will find examples without color.

Stay observing them and you will learn by day !
