Heliozoan and rotifer. Light microscopy footage of an Actinosphaerium eichhorni heliozoan (lower left) with a captured rotifer (Polyarthra dolichoptera, upper right). Heliozoa (sun-animalcules) are unicellular eukaryotic micro-organisms, classed as protists. They have long stiff actinopodia that they use to capture their prey, which can include rotifers. Rotifers are microscopic aquatic animals that are related to roundworms. These specimens are in a pond water sample from Berlin, Germany. | |
