Rotifers

As a side project I have taken many high definition, high quality confocal micrographs of the rotifer, Brachionus plicatilis, showing muscles, DNA rich tissue and whole mount preps.

I presented some of these images at the:

Society for Comaprative and Integrative Biology Meeting in New Orleans, January 2004.

Hoch, JM. Rotifer Micro-anatomy: Ultraviolet Staining and Confocal Microscopy. SICB meeting, 5-9 January, 2004 (poster).
