Three photomicrographs of rotifer, Flosculariidae family, emerging from its protective tube to feed. Left - contracted in protective tube. Center- pushing aside "door" at top of tube. Right - "wheel" extended for feeding. There are two rotifers in this tube, a mother and daughter. Attached to filmentous alga, Aegagropila linnaei. Wet mount, 40X objective, transmitted brightfield illumination.

This picture depicts a transparent, jelly-like creature, presumably a jellyfish, semi-submerged in shallow water with a sandy bottom. The water is very clear, highlighting the jellyfish's details, such as its bell and possible tentacles fanning out around it. The jellyfish appears almost camouflaged against the sandy floor due to its transparency. The image captures the serene nature of an aquatic environment and the simple, yet fascinating beauty of marine life.
