Nice shot Dominique! This is the first time I have seen a rotifer "head on".

Thank Dominique! I agree with Ron, this is a much different view than normally encountered with these rotifers! Very interesting. Your "home made DIC" does a great job of adding a wonderful 3-dimensional look. Excellent image!

This is a wonderful shot Dominique.

I too have never viewed a rotifer head on. I must say though, you are doing a good job in catching up with Charlie. The angle at which you have captured the rotifers head shows some details that are quite interesting, especially around the cilia. You have done some excellent work in capturing this little beast, fantastic shot Dominique!

Congratulations Dominique!

A great looking image on the front page of our microscopy forum. Well deserved indeed, you brought to us a veiw of rotifers that is seldom seen. Great work Dominique and thanks!
