A ciliate with a stalk
Species name:Vorticella
AL-Museum AL-Museum
This ciliate, Vorticella, attaches the end of its long stalk to a solid surface. Although the organism is anchored at the base, it feeds by expanding and contracting its stalk to more around within a limited range. We can see the front and side views of Vorticella and the food vacuole which transfers food particles into the body.
