observations 10-20-11

On Thursday I took pictures of my aquarium under the microscope for the first time.  I saw a smorgasbord of life that is completely invisible to the unaided eye.  Among the organisms I identified are Cyclops sp. (Rainis and Russell 1996, p.204), Euglena helicoideus (Forest 1954, p. 283), and Euchlanis sp. (Douglas 2001, p. 142-143).  Here are some pictures that I took of these organisms.
