Welcome to the Foldscope Community
I found these little guys when I was observing the water of a flower vase and I thought it was so intereseting they could be there. Actually, you can found protozoans in almost any drop of water. Both organisms are of the group ciliophora and one of them belongs to the genus Vorticella.
These are some pictures of songbird and seagull feathers. Extending from the quill are barbs. Extending from the barbs are barbules. On some barbules are hooks (look closely at picture 1!) that grab on to each other exactly like Velcro. This holds together the barbs, which holds the entire shape of the feather.
I thought this little guy was a rotifer when I first saw it, but it was very small to be one. Then I started thinking that it could be a protozooan of the gender Vorticella and that made more sense. These organisms live in fresh water and have cilia to get their food; they also…

Our blood is made of many many cells, water, proteins, etc. In these pictures what we can see are the different types of cells which are part of that red liquid that runs inside our veins and arteries. The cells here can help to transport oxygen and nutrients or can be part of the inmune…

La observación de hoy fue una fresa con moho. Encontré en la cocina una fresa que tenía moho. Le corté un pedazo delgado y la colocamos en nuestro portaobjetos. Logré ver muchas líneas delgadas de color negro. Corté un pedazo mas grueso de la fresa con moho. La colocamos en nuestro portaobjetos. Logré ver todo…

In species such as Dandelion or Eupatorium, feathery bristles of the pappus function as a “parachute” which enables the seed to be carried by the wind. “Organic as a dandelion seed, [the ship of our imagination] will carry us to worlds of dreams and worlds of facts”
