Cute! I have not watched rotifers enough to see this regularly, but I think I have seen something similar with some of the larger ciliates. Thanks for posting!
congratulations to your new DIC set-up and all your fine recent pics.
I would like to make one comment though: I find those uneven backgrounds a bit of a pity. A couple of months ago I posted a link to this nice tool here:
As also discussed by e-mail, I do use the toolkit, but found that it would not work on full size images. I have found a work around using the background generated by the toolkit and resizing it before processing in Paintshop Pro. Here is a reworked version of this post:

Though we lean upon the same balustrade, the colours of the mountain are different.
we've just discussed this problem over here in our german forum and many people don't like the tool for that reason. But actually I don't see the point: I always do all the image processing including the diminishing of size for the web and only THEN I deal with the background and see what I can sort of rescue
I think that's fine for forum work, and indeed is quite a quick way of working, if, however, you want to print using full resolution images, then my work around seems to do the job. It takes a little longer, but can give acceptable results. By the way, I think I could have done a better job selecting the sample points for the Brachionus image - the background is still a little uneven...
... thanks for a useful exchange of thoughts.
