Description:
Euplotes (you-ploe-tees) is a hypotrich ciliate. There is an adoral zone of membranelles leading from the front of the cell to the mouth (where food vacuoles are formed) on the ventral side of the body. Hypotrichs use clumps of cilia called cirri to move, and this image is focussed on the cirri which arise from the ventral side of the cell. DIfferential interference microscopy.
