Hello Everyone! James is here and today I have a microscopic animal to show! And it’s next to two single-celled organisms, if you don’t know what you are looking at, it can be extremely hard to distinguish a multicellular organism from a single-celled one. Here in the clip, the one extending over the scene is a rotifer called Collotheca with four eggs attached to its foot (that’s the term for that). One of its eggs was about to hatch. I think it was quite active!
.
Collotheca extends these amazingly thin hair-like tentacles to feel it’s surrounding, those tentacles vibrate even when I walk around the microscope. It opens its mouth like a cone and waits until something swims right in it, and then it swallows the poor thing!
.
And the two single-celled organisms are Stentors, one of them is almost constantly in the view and the other one appears from time to time. If you watch it closely you’ll see the Stentor swallowing an alga!
.
Thanks for reading!

And please don't forget to check my campaign for a DIC microscope, the details I’ll get with this microscope will blow your mind! Thank you!
