When I saw Wim's long tailed rotifer I remembered I've at one time managed to take photo of the same or very similar species. But I've done it in polarized light and with his small friend cosmarium

Polarized light with retarders
CZJ Lumipan microscope

It's a beauty! And the Cosmarium a cutie.

Beautiful picture. The powerful muscles to move the long tail are very well highlighted with cross pol.
