A cute rotifer (I think it's a Cephalodella, but not sure) in oblique illumination and darkfield

Leitz Dialux II, Galaxy S24. Technically the "darkfield" is oblique, too, because I was too lazy to switch to proper darkfield.

Difference between the quality of a Leitz NPL 40x plan objective, and a generic Chinese 40x non-plan objective. I basically can't see any difference. Both images taken on my Dialux II.

Hypotrich ciliate is digested alive by a heliozoa. It tries to escape at first, but then its membrane falls apart.
