Pseudovorticella sp., light micrograph. This filter-feeding freshwater protozoan consists of a bell-shaped head and a contractile stalk that is anchored to the substrate. When disturbed, the stalk is contracted in a protective motion. Cilia (tiny hair-like structures) attached to the head are used to capture food such as bacteria and algae. Microscopic contrast technique: differential interference contrast. | |
