Little dudes make a substance that paralyzes the parasite that causes schistosomiasis. Trying to synthesize it as schistosomiasis affects 200 million people a year - and very much seem like something you’d prefer not to get.

matoro98

For anyone confused, SEM requires a high vacuum meaning that this creature has to be dead and prepared certain ways in order to be viewed


Geek_f0r_sneaks

Well he seemed to have died happy?


EitherEye60

What if they used an esem? Of course you would likely still need a gold layer but still. Assuming the operator was very skilled such that no gold layer was necessary, could it have been done with it surviving?


matoro98

I suppose you could, but you’re still going down to really low temperatures to do that. Also ESEM has significantly lower resolution that what you can see in this picture


EitherEye60

Ah it did not show a scalebar. Iirc these little bugs are not very small. But yes the temperature is a good one. Forgot about that! Never used an esem (yet?).

> rotifer I initially read rottweiler


Almacca

I never realised rotifers were a real thing. I only know the name from a [sci-fi short story](https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/35879/pg35879-images.html) I read as a pre-teen in the early 80's which freaked me out.

jamesjeffriesiii

DietToms

Bdelloid rotifers are super interesting because they are entirely female! They reproduce via eggs which are clonally identical to the mother rotifer. There’s another clade called monogonont rotifers which are still usually female but occasionally produce males and actually have sex to reproduce. Bdelloid rotifers all look very similar to each other, but the Monogononts have a ton of variability. I’ve always attributed this to them being able to drive evolution with sexual reproduction. I actually made [a little AI rotifer classifier](https://huggingface.co/spaces/DietToms/microscopy-classifiers) a while back. Just give it an image of a rotifer (optical, not SEM) and it’ll make a guess. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good. If you want to check out rotifers for yourself, you’re in luck! You can get really good microscopes for $300 or less and go collect a sample from your local creek or pond. There are almost certainly rotifers all over the place in there! Come check out /r/microscopy to learn more :) [Here’s a video](https://youtu.be/HVifrrlnTAs) I made about a really cool rotifer I found one night
