I found this; but I do not know the exact ID.

Nikon Plan Fluor 100x/1.3 oil, DIC, flash, 50D

Rogelio,

Wonderful shots of the contractile stalk. Excellent. (Super 100X quality!)

Possibly Zoothamnium or Carchesium. A few years ago I photographed something similar, and if you look at the ID discussion there (by folks who are better than I am in regards to ID) you may pick up some points that will help you determine what these are.

Charles,

Possibly Zoothamnium or Carchesium as you said; but I am not sure. Maybe Martin could help with the ID.

Thank you for your words, coming from you is an honor.
