The eye of the nematode

Post by carlos.uruguay »

In this video we see at the 'eye' of a very small worm that lives in a bottle of fresh water with algae.
Belongs to a group of nematodes.
This is very very small, not more than 100um (0.1mm) long.
These curious beings, that change of skin as the snakes, living in the distant world of the drop of water.
Magical World of which we know little or nothing in reality.
Immersion objective.
Polarized oblique light.
