These are such wonderful rotifers. Excellent images!

Over the years I remember really nice shots of these by Wim, Graham, and Ralf (and the video of fpelectronica). Now I can add yours to my "memory" list!

Very nice results and not that easy to photograph. :-) What I find peculiar is that the eyes of this rotifer (not seen in these images) seem to be on the underside.

Hello,

Thank you Charles, Wim.
Yes I like the eyes too, but I was not able to take them with the a clear body !

A+
