A Paramecium Showing His Internal Parts - Video

This paramecium is feeding, making new food vacuoles, expelling waste and showing us how he does all that. It's an amazing lucky find and I was lucky to be ready with the camera.

Watch as his cell mouth, anal pore and gullet work and food vacuoles are formed and distributed about the body.

The video.

WOW. Thats an interesting video, nicely done!!

Excellent Mitch.

Thanks John and Bas. From the reaction I am getting in a microscope forum, this is a rare event to capture. Maybe the first time shown like this. I know for sure it's the very first time I have seen it.

Well done.

My rare event is a shot in focus

The video is really good, great work.

Fascinating!! I'm so pleased I got to see this unusual footage. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks Gator. I have some others posted too, although I must admit, I think this is my best so far.

Wonderful stuff mitch.

Thanks Brian. I'm beginning to believe it. This video has brought a lot of comments from a lot of people. Certainly I have never seen a paramecium in this way before.
