Mystery Bug of the Month

10-04

Creatures from the Depths below. . . . .

OK, well they are not really from oceans below or under the sea, in reality this little critter and his whole family was found in a wastewater Clarifier. They actually turned the clarifier pink! They swam around in large groups and looked like a river of pink in the clarifier!!!

These photomicrographs were taken from a wastewater sample. Most of the objectives used were 40x or 100x and 400x. 1000x was not needed since these organisms were already extremely large. They were relatively visible with the naked eye, except for the fine details.

Come take a closer look at the amazing world under the microscope!

Many internal organs including intestines
