Two images, stitched, at different focal points to show various details. These rotifers really look much better in darkfield but I did not think to do so at the time. The radial cilia show up much better in darkfield I think but too late for that now. The poor thing succumbed to a good scrubbing of the slide and cover glass with Windex.
