40x Volvox Stack

A Volvox showing daughter colonies.

 

Focus stack of 11 oblique illumination images taken under the 40x objective.

 

Strange that under no illumination method was I able to pick up the interconnections, though some of the flagella are visible here.

 

Perhaps this species trades interconnections for a general continuous membrane? Upper and lower left would seem to confirm this.
