Prepared Slides: Zoology Small Organisms Microscope Slides

The images below were captured with the DMBA210 digital biological microscope. These prepared slides are included in the Zoology Small Organisms Prepared Slide Kit.

	Zygnema Zygnema is a common fresh water alga and is found in quiet, still waters.		Schistosoma This Slide shows male and female conjugation. Schistosoma are commonly known as blood-flukes or bilharzia and are responsible for significant parasitic infection of humans by causing the disease schistosomiasis. Learn more here.
	Plankton Whole mount of different species of plankton. These drifting organisms inhabit the pelagic zone of oceans, seas, or bodies of fresh water. Learn more about plankton here.		Rotifer Rotifers are about 0.1 - 0.5mm long and are common in freshwater environments, although a few saltwater species exist.
	Hydra This long section demonstrates the cellular structure and the body plan. Hydra is a genus of simple, fresh-water animal possessing radial symmetry.		Paramecium This whole mount demonstrates the macronucleus and micronucleus, food and contractile vacuole, oral groove and gullet.
	Foraminifera A whole mount showing mixture of coiled and biserial fossil forms of several genera. Forams are a large group of amoeboid protists.		Grantia Grantia (Scypha) cross section showing general structure of canals and body walls. Grantia is a genus of calcareous sponges belonging to the family Grantiida.
	Amoeba Whole mount of one celled protozoan showing, pseudopodia and nucleus.		Clamworm Sometimes referred to as ragworm or sandworm, is a freeswimming polychaete, scavenging on the bottom of shallow marine waters.
