Marine Ciliophrys (video)

Post by carlos.uruguay »

We have found this tiny organism in sea water.
It belongs to Ciliophrys genus.
It goes through a heliozoan state (as we see in the video)
It has a single flagellum that moves slowly in the shape of an eight, also visible at the end of the video.
We filmed it with the phase contrast technique, with a 100X immersion objective
Panasonic GH4 camera

Thanks friend!
yes, but if you look, at the end of the video it is clearly seen in a eight shape flagella, positively Ciliophrys

Too bad a total in focus DOF video can't be made. Nice job anyway.
