Kinorhyncha living, out of kelp holdfast from the Pacific coast.Pictures were shot using a Nikon AlphaPhot teaching compound microscope with a trinocular head and a mounted camera. Ill shoot some scales and post them separately as a short video. Lowest mags were with a 4X objectives, next mags with a 10X objective, and highest with a 40X objective. The camera tube has no separate eyepiece lens. Thanks for the suggestions!

Agustín - I'm surprised you need a permit for kelp holdfast; I don't remember ever getting vertebrates in one of those shipments. They really are the most fantastic teaching material available for such a course. Cheers. - JJ

This camera was one purchased in BioSci at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln years ago. It is fitted, via C mount, on a Nikon AlphaPhot tri-noc microscope (nothing fancy, just high quality teaching instrument). The camera is a Microimage Video System YC/NTSC; they may not make them anymore. - JJ

Wow! Is that from the California marine shipment? I was considering ordering the thing for animal diversity this semester. I do not have the permit so we did not order them. This clip is 220 material. Thanks for sharing. Agustín
