Making a photographic image that gives a lifelike view of the organism is even more difficult. Because of the small depth of field of the microscope you can only see a thin slice of the animal. Because I was curious about the way the microscopic organism was built I started sketching it. I wanted to know how the feeding apparatus worked, how many rows of cilia there were and what the three dimensional shape of the animal was.
