Olympus BioScapes International Digital Imaging Competition 2011

First prize winner: Rotifer Floscularia ringens feeding. Its rapidly beating cilia (hair-like structures) bring water that contains food to the rotifer. The “wheel animacules” were first described by Leeuwenhoek (ca.1702); when their cilia beat, they look like they have two wheels spinning on top. They live in reddish-brown tubes made of spherical “bricks”. Charles Krebs, Issaquah, Washington. (Photo by Olympus BioScapes)
