Description
Didinium attacks Paramecium. Also showing many discharged trichocysts and metachronous waves of cilia in the two characteristic ciliary girdles of Didinium nasutum and on Paramecium. A series of capture and ingestion SEMs are grouped with this image. This micrograph was taken in 1968 by G. Antipa on a Cambridge Mark IIA operating at 20kV. The negative magnification is 410X.
