57 shots in Zerene drunk on 10% grain alcohol (the daphnia, not me). Immobilized but the heart was still beating.

nice (: what did you do to avoid vibrations when stacking?

I'm looking for the the extemely rare V-IM magnification changer for the E800 scope. If you have seen a listing or have one for sale please let me know.

Daphnia stacking
Vasselle,
I shoot in Sequential Drive Mode at about 3 frames per second -- it is the same as a motor drive in the 35mm days.
I hold down the shutter release on the USB remote control and focus through the stack while the drive is running so I can capture the whole stack in just a few seconds.

Hi Michael,
If I might offer an ID, this looks like it is a Ceriodaphnia, which have no tail spine and a rounder head. I figured it might be worth pointing out because of another difference, which is not always easy to see but your image shows very well: the markings on the carapace. In most Daphnia they form a grid, while here they are a hexagonal tiling. I think that's actually what the name Ceriodaphnia refers to, from Greek for honeycomb.

Thank you all for your kind comments and to Actinophrys for the ID. A note on this recent pond dip.
I have another local pond that last summer was rich in desmids and midge larvae and damselfly nymphs. Latest dip -- nothing. However, the banks and shallows were absolutley black with tadpoles for two feet outward, so I suspect they have been eating all of the micro fauna and flora. I mean, not a single microsterias when last summer they were cluttering up my samples?
