Rotifer at about 500x

Learning more about shooting the D300 in tethered mode. Shifted to tripod mode on Live View and have been able to achieve better critical focus. This is a prepared and stained slide of a rotifer. Body length appears to be about 70-80μm. I'll be more accurate soon - ordered a stage micrometer that measures out in 10μm (1/100th of a millimeter) units. I suspect the small stuff in the image are bacteria, but not sure.
Need to run down to a local pond to see if I can find some live single celled stuff to shoot.

That's a cool shot. Haven't seen a rotifer since school. Do you have any photos of a Vorticella? I remember watching them under a microscope, interesting and very active. You may get some in that pond. 8-)

Neat shot. I knew you would be heading to a pond soon! We'll be waiting to see what you catch.
