Ameba

Ameba

This is my first photograph of an Ameba. It was taken using a student microscope and without a vertical tube for the camera.

[Water was taken from an aquarium with gold fish along with scrapings of algae from the glass walls. To this was added water with algae from McGraw Park pond. This was allowed to sit for two weeks under a plant light before the slide was made.]

Rotifer

Rotifer

In this, my first attempt to photograph a rotifer, I discovered that they really move around quite quickly. Of course, I already knew this but it would be nice if they held still for their portrait. Then there is the depth of focus problem. Still, I'm happy to have caught the wheel organ (also called the corona, or trochal disk, consisting of the rings of cilia), the mastax (also called the pharynx, used for chewing), and some of the gut (stomach). This was taken using a student microscope and without a vertical tube for the camera.
