The amazing new foldscope!!! Hello foldscopers!!! It’s so good to be back & this time with a really different approach & the new foldscope model! The IIT B workshop was so wonderful that the eagerness to view & post something new had increased in me.
So here’s a small sample that I had scraped from the walls of a boundary in the IIT campus itself.
So here’s a small sample that I had scraped from the walls of a boundary in the IIT campus itself.
Hydrated the sample And I had a complete WOWWW moment when I observed it. There was such a diversity like from rotifers,nematodes to diatoms & vorticella there were so many of them.
In the above video I can clearly see a rotifer n several other diatoms n protozoa. I would like to have some help in identifying the rotifer n the beating organ that it has from you all.
Above is a dark field view of the same.
After panning across I came across this single vorticella species & there’s an interesting interaction between some kind of nematode ( I have no idea what that protozoan is ) & the vorticella. Please share your views about it.

P.S. : Ignore my voice somewhere in the videos.
Feel free to share your views about the above observation and also add to it.
And lastly, Happy Foldscoping !
