Hello all,
Here's a shot of a Brachionus from my critter farm - the dark field illumination clearly demonstrates the movement of the cilia around the corona, although I was not able to get a good exposure with flash so I could not 'stop' the movement.
Leitz Orthoplan, Plan 25X, Leitz 0.80 DF Condenser, Coolpix 4500, PSP 9.0
All the best,
Mike

I agree, a splended shot. You may not have stopped the cilia but the image has excellent color and details. Good work!

Hello Tom,
Good to hear from you and I do hope things are improving for you and yours.
I am very pleased to have this photo selected and thank you and the rest for providing this forum - as far as I'm concerned, this is where the best photography, micro & macro, is being done.
All the best,
Mike
