Description

A view of the left side of Conchophthirus curtus. See Antipa, G. A. and Small, E. B. 1971. A redescription of Conchophthirus curtus Engelmann, 1862 (Protozoa, Ciliatea). J. Protozool. 18:491-503 for more detail. This micrograph was taken in 1968 by G. Antipa on a Cambridge Mark IIA operating at 20kV. The negative magnification is 785X. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750 Pro. This image is available for quantitative analysis.
