Thanks for posting this! Videos of Forams feeding are few and far inbetween and GOOD videos like this one are a real treat! Will show this to my oceanography students! More please!!!! :)

very nice dark field, lovely motion video.

Nice. So if I had to guess the Foaminifer is taking things to its pores to digest?

[@BirdWhisperer46]

That's quite impressive. Is this your personal scope? I ask because I have just bought an old Fluophot and wondering about adapting a modern digital camera to it, and finding parts for it. I know they are vastly different scopes, but from the same era. :o)

I didn't know what it meant at the end.

amazing video, is there anything particular reason you're looking at these forams?

This is epic.
