Excellent....now I can believe myself when I say I am feeding my larvae Apocyclops LOL.  Those nauplii are really small.  The rotifers in the picture were very small, about half the size of the adult rotifers.

I have measured the N1 nauplii at right about 70 microns wide, several times, with very high quality equipment at work that had just been calibrated with a scale micrometer.

Yep. Nice photos! Now we need to get you some supplemental lighting so you can take some top-down shots.

I had the top light off when I took those shots.  I'll play around with it this weekend.  It was a pain to get these shots, the little guys wouldn't sit still.  I may have to buy some vodka LOL
