I am attaching a few Gastrotrich photos - they have porcupine-like scales and are constantly in motion. I use a coverslip compression by extracting the water with a piece of filter paper to compress and hold them still then photographed them using DIC, Phase and Darkfield microscopy. There are about 800 species - if interested in more information about them I posted a short article: http://www.canadiannaturephotographer.c ... richs.html - posting articles is a way for me to learn more about these strange animals.
