Observation 2 10/23/2008

Observation 2 took place on October 23, 2008 in the White Hall Biology Annex under a microscope equiped with a Sony HD camera. Plant A, on the micro aquarium's right side, was the first side to be looked at. A small concentration of three Rotifers were near each other in the middle of plant A. One Epistylis was found in the outer reaching areas of plant A near the aquarium's center; and, single celled organisms were spinning at the tank's bottom near the mud. Small leaves were found on plant B that seemed to attract and contain other smaller organisms. The smaller organisms appeared to be swimming within the leaf as if they were trapped. Several Epistyli could be seen at various places near the center of plant B. Multiple Actinosphaerium were found near the bottom of plant B, near the dirt.
