Ceriodaphnia reticulata (tentative)
Found the following specimen and I would like to know the id. Taken with Plan Apo 10x/0.45, polarized light, stacked.
Edit: change the tittle, thanks to Wim for the id. [Admin edit: change title again]

Wow Rogelio, this is another gorgeous photo!
Sorry, but as to an ID I can't contribute more than the obvious, i. e. Crustacea: Phyllopoda: Cladocera, here in a not so often seen ventral view, presumably easier to achieve with your inverted scope.

that's an advantage of an inverted microscope; great!

I'm looking for the the extemely rare V-IM magnification changer for the E800 scope. If you have seen a listing or have one for sale please let me know.

Rogelio, congratulations for your selection as monthly Administrator's Appreciation Award. A fine picture, indeed!
One thing, I've softened the title on the topic to reflect that the ID is tentative. As I understand it that name is properly attached to a critter whose type locality is a marsh in Norway. I know that C. reticulata is a widespread species by some accounts, but applying it to a specimen from the American tropics seems like a bit of a stretch.
Structure of the postabdominal claw is listed as one distinguishing characteristic of reticulata [REF], so if you have a good lateral photo that might help shed some light on the ID.
