Hi Carlos

The phase portion is very nice. The flagella in black are easy to see. Thank you and well done.

Carlos,

there are many parasites that live of Spirogyra etc. Psedudospora parasitica can be easily identified by the form and the color of cysts during phagocytosis. They look like an egg, sunny side up, and have a distinct reddish color.

Some pictures can be found here:

Thanks Frez.
Ecki, I have seen these excellent photos when I film the video
and your excellent post:in de forum
http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... seudospora
in the video minute 1.50 and 2.50 minute had seemed to me very similar to the body than your have photographed
I've looked at the little literature that there is and I have not found any similar parasite
For that reason I have ordered you a mail it does a time consulting you, but it must not have come to you
I am waiting for your opinion
A greeting

Carlos,

the species that I showed in that thread is Nuclearia thermophila and not P. parasitica. I will post some more on this soon.

For N. thermophila: http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... 349#113349

Ecki thank you very much for this important information.
My bad English has created confusion and had not seen the text update.
What do you think that it is my video?
A greeting.

Carlos, I am still deciding on a camera. CCD is the way to go, but I have not picked one out yet. I will send you links to a camera and capture card for your opinion. LOL, it is a lot harder than shopping for a pair of socks.

Ja ja ja!
Certainly more difficult!
I am at your disposal friend Mitch
