This is a rotifer - 275 µm long - from the genus Synchaeta. The first picture is in phase contrast and the second in DIC.
Objective 20x, marine plankton.

Franz,

Beautiful!

I would like to know if the phase contrast that you used is ADL?

Thank you Rogelio!
It is a normal (not ADL) phase contrast: LWD 20x/0,40
