Rotifer Monostyla

Post by hkv »

I found this Rotifer Monostyla that was swimming and rotating as he was cruising the slide. Very elegant swimming technique.
I added a drop of Glutaraldehyde to stop the movement and managed to get a few stacks. The size of the animalcule is 150µm from tip of the tail to the front horns.

60X water immersion, DIC and 1.25X on the magnification changer:
