” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

Thanks John and Mitch.
Although the ProtoSlo did slow this beast down it did not prevent it from slowly moving such that it was not possible to get a series of images to use for stacking; thus just a single frame from a thick, dense protozoan covered in cilia.
It looks like it had been feeding on Dinobryon as you can see the vase-shaped loricae being ejected. These loricae are composed of cellulose and protein and it seems strange they were not digested; protein should be digestible but cellulose not quite so easily digestible.

NU, I was going to ask, what's your technique for using the Protoslo? I have not used mine yet, waiting for equipment that would give decent images. Now I am ready to give it a try with the new T1i on the old scope. [The Fluophot may arrive tomorrow, Tuesday by 5pm for sure]
So how much did you use, did you use a depression slide, and did you add the Protoslo first or last?
And now I can't get Bart Simpson out of my mind. LOL

The Bart Simpson analogy has ruined this image for me
