Revision as of 06:41, 17 November 2016

Here are some further images from the Hackuarium's old scope of Moss Menagerie creatures

They were observed at a 200x magnification and the images just taken simply through the ocular with my phone, then cropped...):

Difflugiawithleg.png a Difflugia (?), on the move...


Testate amoebasmaller.png another Difflugia, or maybe a Corythion (?)


These Swiss Difflugia (?) have also been observed having a sort of 'startle' response, from which they recover...
Basically, they explosively contract into their little shell!
(However, tapping the plate or changing light won't induce this response, so what its trigger is remains uncertain.)

Startled Difflugia.png a startled one, fully retracted in its shell

RecoveringDifflugia.png a recovering Difflugia


Bdelloid rotifersmaller.png
This sort of rotifer can be very abundant, and is likely a Bdelloid type... They are fun to see move (very stretchy, with posterior attachment site)!

Ciliate.png

The ciliates can go very fast, so it is hard to show their cilia, which are just visible in this image, and probably cover most of the surface of this protist...


Emtpyspikytestesm.png This is probably an empty Corythion test (?) - with spikes!
