Opercularia sp. A few sessile peritrichs, plucked from a Great Divingbeetle ♂
A second microscope film of a few Opercularia cells, filmed with a telephone above the
microscope eyepiece, now at 100x magnification. Here too, the eddy currents are clearly
visible as the spherical golden algae colonies Synura uvella are being flung around
as they approach.
