I found this cilate and I think it is Ophryoglena.

Body lenght around 303 microns.

Wow! Gorgeous.

Certainly Ophryoglena...the mouth is very distinctive. Some do have 2 contractile vacuoles (flava, for example).

Hi Rogelio,

These are spectacular. I really like the shots with the dual WEV. Could you please put a scale bar on one of the images? I am trying to get my system tuned up and since these are such amazing images I am curious to know what magnification regime you are operating in.

Thanks,

David

Your scope is too good to just do stills all the time. How about some video.

Of course, I will put a scale bar. I love the details of CV pores.

Thank you for your comments.

I set the halogen lamp to 12v (100 watts) when I shoot video and I am afraid I can burn my polarizer if I do too much video, that is the reason I do not do video frequently (that polarizer is hard to get).

Thank you for your comments.
