size matters...continued
Size does matter, for fry-fish, rotifers, cilliates, bacteria! Such a wonderful outcome to encounter a fish being recycled...with only medium power (10x objective) , a simple wetmount slide preparation, and a simple point&shoot digital camera to share this session.
1) I forgot to use higher power objectives....ouch!!...I should have tried oil-immersion lens on the large bacteria! Next time.
2) I will watch for another dead fish in my backyard microcosms. To collect and observe the 'composting/recycling dead fish'. To watch if the same assemblages of: rotifers, large cilliates, huge thread bacteria again show up in my wetmount slides. charlie cuevara NJ,US
