Copepod Sideview

Posted by Scott Collins (Ontario, California, United States) on 2 February 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

These little guys live in my saltwater aquarium, and provide food for some of the fish. They are about the size of a flea, and are a little difficult to photograph. I have a home made camera mount for my Cybershot camera, and I use an LED flash light above the subject, instead of underneath where most microscopes have their light source.
