This first one, I believe. is a Colpoda.

This dividing pair may be Acanthocystis. Any suggestions?

Good morning

I agree that your first picture is Colpoda and I think that your second one is likely Actinophrys ..

Thanks , John and Ferry.

Greetings! This is an excellent site for exchanging information, advice and technical achievements and building friendships.

I mostly do photomacrography, but I do a bit of micrography as well.

Jim
