euglena

Post by Wim van Egmond »

I don't have a lot of time to post on the forum ( I had to work hard on my latest amazing scientific discovery - see the new issue of Micscape magazine) but this is an image I recently made. Image

I combined 3 slides. I had to wait until the euglena was motionless and because of that it is flattened, perhaps a bit too much. By manual stacking I could show the different aspects of this organism. It was my first Euglena image with a flagellum. And the first time I saw Euglena spirogyra.

Wim,

This Euglena wants to whip you with a flagellum to force you to post more pictures! :-)

Excellent. I think it's the best picture of Euglena I have ever seen. Even details of chloroplasts are well visible, and so many different organella.
