Summary
DescriptionTardigradeEggsInShedCuticle.jpg |
English: The shed cuticle of a female Tardigrade or “water bear” containing eggs. This was taken using the 10× objective and 15× eyepiece on my microscope. The numbered scale is built into my 15× eyepiece, and when used with the 10× objective, the numbered ticks are 122 microns apart.
I learned something new today. I saw this in my microscope, and wondered. I saw several other live water bears, but this was dead and motionless. Looking up the Wikipedia article on Tardigrade, I learned that the female lays her eggs inside her cuticle, just before she sheds it. So obviously, that's what I was seeing here—the shed cuticle of a female water bear, with eggs that she left inside of it. |
