Description: A tardigrade from Scotland, Isohypsibius annulatus, described in Microscopy UK's online magazine.
(August 01, 2000)
A sample of water from Lochaber, Scotland collected by Alastair Bruce was received on the 1st. August 2000. This was examined on receipt and part preserved in formalin, my usual practice. On subsequent days temporary mounts were made of live material sealed with petroleum jelly and searched for desmids, my main interest. A mount was made on the 8th. August and examined. On the 9th the slide was examined again and a tardigrade was found moulting, see photomicrographs. It was still alive and squirming with the shed skin still attached 24 hours later.
