Vorticella in darkfield II
Nikon S type microscope
Darkfield by Baush & Lomb darkfield condenser
20X M Achromat
Olympus PK 6.7X projection eyepiece, no relay lens
Canon 10D
Low speed strobe
Much differant than my first darkfield post, but I believe it is another form of vorticella. It can separate itself from it's stalk and swim freely.

Nice shot there Walt There are a few different types of Vorticella, most can detach from the stalk and become free swimming and it is quite interesting to watch them do so and then reattach themselves to another piece of substrate. I have only observed this cycle once and it requires a lot of time at the microscope.
