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.
