Aphid

This a brightfield image of Paramecium bursaria with hereditary symbiontic Chlorella algae. Ran an internet search and found that the Chlorella themselves are often host to virus that can destroy them (lytic).

Charles thanks for the ecology notes. The slide I used for this picture is a test slide made in Germany. I will watch for these in local streams once spring arrives (your map suggests there should be some in my area). Rene I checked the other end with my 63x. Even with indirect lighting I could not ...
