We know that this ciliate belongs to the genus Holosticha,
Probably Holosticha pullaster.
We find it in marine water with very little oxygen.
It measures about 70um in length
Oblique polarized light and phase contrast.

Nice shots, Carlos.

I really need to get into phase contrast.

I love your videos. The oblique polarised light is very effective and the phase contrast shows great detail.
