It's one organism that has gorged itself on something large. Typically these ciliates fill themselves on the remains of larger creatures like worms etc. Judging by the contents, I believe this one has eaten from a dead a worm as there are a number of fatty inclusions.
That's correct. The larger ones certainly and the smaller ones if there is a mass of them or a bloom but most cannot be seen with the naked eye individually. As an analogy, seeing them as specks with the naked eye is the equivalent of seeing a bird far off in the distance as a speck, impossible to see any detail, features or beauty, just a speck.
@@protistlabfilms Unreal images - do you have an NIC condenser or something else at play? Stunning images - well done and thank you! I would appreciate learning more about how you capture these images!
@@MojoFilter No I don't have Nomarski in my tool kit. Polarised oblique illumination gives good contrast and resolution. I started using a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K at the beginning of this year.
@@protistlabfilms Absolutely married to the visuals.. I have a few of my own videos with supporting music and commentary too.. Such a joyful and mysterious hobby to have!

These are some great shots! What microscope did you use to record them?
