Miscellaneous Microorganisms
My main interest is in breeding and videoing Rotiferia. However, while doing this, I come into contact with many other micro-organisms. This page is dedicated to such discoveries.
Primarily my requirements for microorganisms on this page is that they are not visible to the human eye, therefore below 250 micrometers (depending on how good your eyesight is :-)
The maximum magnification is 1000x oil.
Enjoy
This has got to be my favorite video so far. I really enjoy hunting and walking through a forest, seeing and discovering new sounds, sights and smells.
This micro adventure through the lens of my microscope is every bit as fascinating and exciting as an outdoor hunting adventure.
While looking through a magical microscopic forest of algae, I came across this microscopic worm, that appears to have a hook on its tail, as well as clusters of diatom and amoeba eggs.
While videoing Rotifers, this whip worm wriggled its way into the lens.
Compared to other micro worms I have seen before, this worm was quite aggressive with very rapid movements. I guess that's why it is called a Whip Worm.
I found this microscopic worm while searching for rotifers.
