Hello,
I came across this thread while browsing the forum:
Vorticella - fastest moving organism? viewtopic.php?f=3&t=42844
The speed of some microorganisms appears really astonishing. I don't know whether vorticellas are the fastest, but I had the opportunity to calculate the speed of another ciliate and had a lot of fun making this video. I am happy to share it to you just one year after the question about the speed of vorticella arose.

I hope you'll enjoy it!
