SuncrestReef Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 While cleaning up the brown jelly syndrome on my corals today, I took time to view some samples under my microscope. It's really fascinating to watch these ciliates move. According to the research I've done, I believe these are Helicostoma nonatum. In this video, I start out at 80x, then increase the magnification to 200x and then 2000x. The video was shot with my iPhone attached to the microscope eyepiece. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 That's really cool, reminds me a few years back when I was using my microscope to test local pond water near me; Amazing world we live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingtriton92 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Super cool. I was looking at trochus snail eggs under my microscope and was blown away to see what appears to be fully formed snails cruising around inside the egg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
