The music is the 3rd movement of Beethoven's piano sonata no. 14, the 'Moonlight' sonata. Good, isn't it? :-)

Very nice work, I liked the vorticella, but can you tell me what was in the still shot before what I think id an euplotes? almost at the very end.

Thanks

Thank you - the last few organisms are, I think:

Hydra, actinophrys sol (two images), actinosphaerium sp?, coleps (the barrel-shaped thing), gastrotrich (furry-looking), and daphnia.
