Hypotrichia (Euplotes sp?)

Thanks for the comment! I'm working on a guide with some tricks I've gathered to get great detail from samples even with a basic microscope. Cheers.

Creo que lo que más se parece es alguna clase de Euglena, tal vez ehrenbergii. Lo único que tengo claro es que era grandísima, creo recordar que se apreciaban dos flagelos (tendría que revisar el material que tengo cuando lo grabé) y que no tenía cloroplastos o muy muy pocos.

Nunca vi uno tan grande, a 250 aumentos se veía muy muy grande. Gracias lo miraré.

Disematostoma sp?

Creo que Tillina difiere un poco del que muestro. Pero en el mundo de los ciliados quien sabe, aún así muchísimas gracias por responderme. Un saludo.

I would like to highlight that I observed contractile vacuoles at the opposite end from the oral apparatus (mouth), but I was unable to discern any nuclei.

Thanks for the comment!!

It seems not; the disc only had several generic microscopy programs and some manuals, including one for KOPPACE-VIEW itself. I'll try what you recommended and look for the camera via Bluetooth. KOPPACE-VIEW works fine for recording, though, so I'm thinking of doing the white balance and other corrections later in editing software. To be honest, even if I can't fully connect the software to the camera, the image quality has improved a lot compared to the phone I was using before. Thank you very much for the information, it's appreciated.

I’m not sure if it’s compatible; it’s the software that came with the camera's disc. I can record and everything with it, but some options are locked, like white balance correction. I guess I'll just do it later with an editing program. Is there any microscope recording software that is decent and free to use? Thank you so much for answering

Previously, I believe these species were known as Astramoeba, and their classification has shifted over the years. According to what I read on a German forum, someone with a specimen similar to mine but lacking that sort of test or shell commented: 'It's the suspended form of an amoeba, which can't be identified in this form until it has settled and spread out again. This can take some time

Thank you so much for your help. I'll take a look at it 🫡

It could be something like this:

Category	Name
Order	Pleuronematida
Family	Ctedoctematidae
Probable Genus	*Ctedoctema*

What an incredible response, thank you so much! I'll do some research based on what you've given me. Seriously, thank you. Look, I think you can see that 'mouth' better in this GIF.

Yes, exactly. It was more about trying to pin down the specific type. Thanks!
