Jacek,

The setup was: Nikon TE300 microscope, Plan Apo 20x/0.75 objective, DIC, flash and Canon T3i mounted on the front port of the TE300.

Thank you.

Nice detail of a species I have never seen. I have found about 10 species in the river here, but never noticed or was able to resolve the fine cilia on any of them, if they had any. Is that the mouth, to the right of center?

Mitch,

I am not sure about if it is the mouth or not.

Thank you for your comments.

Wow, great find Rogelio. It's always nice to find the answer to some question that has been hiding from you.
