Ciliates(Genus Colpoda)
downloadFrom an infusion of flowers, leaves and grass (prepared several days before), I extracted a drop of water and placed it on a slide. In this drop I discovered an entire universe of microorganisms, including the ones from the video above. These reniform (kidney shaped) ciliate are called Colpoda and in this video you can observe their locomotion in water. You cand also see a lot of bacteria (the black dots) which swim frantically .
About Microgallery
Our Universe doesn’t reduce to only what meets the naked eye. Although hidden from our view, under the microscope lens exists an entire fascinating and complex world. Bacteria, cells, fungi, vegetal and animal fragments, etc. - they all have their role and charm. The microscopic world plays by the same rules as our own macroscopic world – a continuous struggle for survival, adaptation and evolution. The dynamics of our life is given by the dynamic of every single microscope element.
Therefore, as amateurs as we are, we are trying to present to you this microscopic world as best as we can. We are hoping we will set your curiousity and we are inviting you to learn more about microbiology. Your recommendations and comment are more than welcomed.
