I tried to make this tintinnid look as much like a psychodelic mushroom as I could. To be fair, it was already pretty close on its own - but I added the color. The surface is covered with a few different types of coccolith plates, because are metal AF. #SciArt #Tintinnid #SEM

Abigail and her first #tintinnid! Happy to have 4 undergrads and 2 prospective MS students in the lab this summer! #ciliates #protists Hofstra Biology Hofstra University

Bazı türleri acı ve tatlı sularda yaşar ve genellikle yüzeyde veya yüzeye yakın kısımlarda rastalanırlar. Plankton örneklemelerinde Tintinndilerin bolluğu sıcaklık ve tuzluluk oranına göre değişiklik gösterir. 🖋 Zeynep Çınar #biology #science #protozoon #tintinnid #huekog

Finally found the name to this fascinating creature via Google lens no less. A #tintinnid in #freshwater #microscopy #plankton !

Prof Patrick Eyers Some #tintinnid species actually - has a lorica that is built from the organisms it has consumed...

Hey #sciencetwitter, can anyone help me identify this critter? Found in fresh water, about 112x80 um #rotifer #tintinnid #ciliate

A cute little fella. Sampling Date : Oct_01_2021 Sampling Location : Tamsui estuary Probably some kind of Favella #Ciliate #Protist #Tintinnid #Loricate

Can we talk about how this unicellular #tintinnid... a) builds itself a house out of shells b) using 6 different species of coccolithophorids c) to create an aboral-oral size gradient (!) d) might be saving whole cells to eat on a rainy day (EM by Ruth Eriksen #protistonline)

Gruber et al 2020 (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/je…) provided the first detailed data of #tintinnid oral apparatus ultrastructure, which can be used to elucidate recent common ancestry and help decipher the groupings of oligotrichean ciliates. #MidweekMicrobe

Received the new issue of #Scottish J #Geology, lovely cover photo #Tintinnid from #Hattoon-#Rockall Basin, also great contents read!! MASTS #expedition #Scotia 0915S British Geological Survey Edinburgh Geological Society. Was the #Fossil retrieved from #contourites 😍? need more investigation😊 #algae
