Shadow Scope

Shadow scopes were on full display at CSU Chemistry Club's Halloween Show this year, with lots of microscopic creepy crawlies! Check out our blog for details: stasevichlab.colostate.edu/shadow-scope/h…

Had a great time at the City of Fort Collins Wade the River event where we used shadow scopes to id macroinvertebrates. Found mayflies, stone flies, and caddis flies (and flatworms and midges), indicating the Poudre where we sampled is healthy! See more youtube.com/@csushadowscope

New blog post about the microscopic world underwater. Check it out!

One of our undergrads took a really awesome video of some Stentors (a type of ciliate, also known as "trumpet animalcules") floating into the view on an at-home Shadow Scope! Check it out: youtu.be/Zo6E4Uv7r3I

Had a great outing last week with @EscuelaIrish and the Natural Sciences Education and Outreach Center @ColoradoStateU looking at pond water samples from the Poudre River. We found an ostracod (a.k.a. seed shrimp) in one sample! See if you can spot it.
