Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Filming microbes with my Amscope 670Q-PL underbrightfield microscopsy, without a coverslip on the slide allows microbes free reign without confinements. This allows us a quick glimpse of their natural movement in a hostile yet much needed environment for survival and procreation. You will notice that both microbes are the same, but one is darker than the other, I infer male and female as they stay close together, you can clearly see that as I focus from one to the other. View both short videos and let me know if you can ID both of these microbes, I am fanscinated by this world many call microcosm. 2 Quote Link to comment

mcarroll Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Thanks, English Language! 😜 "No" to my first guess (which was flatworm). Yes, I do think it's Planaria. (Still a guess from more googling...LOL) 1 1 Quote Link to comment
