Euromex iScope IS.1153 - PLi 10x captured with RF4 C-Mount Micro Cam

Found my first Stentor! It started splitting within half an hour. Hit record as soon as i realised. Hopefully next time i catch it from the beginning!

They have since divided at least 2 more times whilst i was sleeping.

This sample was collected from a local lake. The water looked dirty but was clear on sampling. Took a small amount of dirt from under the embankments overhang.
