Brachionus - Dark Field Illumination...Mike

Post by twebster »

Submitted by Mike...

Hello all,

Here's a shot of a Brachionus from my critter farm - the dark field illumination clearly demonstrates the movement of the cilia around the corona, although I was not able to get a good exposure with flash so I could not 'stop' the movement.

All the best,

Mike
