In contrast to many of the other microscope videos I make, once converted to flash, I delete the original file (due to computer space). But I will provide a download link for the original avi in compressed format (as it was captured directly from the microscope slide).
Sea Creature with Light-Sensitive Eyespot (January 5, 2009 #29)
The original compressed avi is provided in the event that somebody may have more advanced digital editing software than those tools at my disposal and to extract the highest quality images. The following media may be downloaded and used for personal and commercial purposes, but please note the source as Sharon Mooney and this blog URL.
salt_water_29.avi (56,963 k) Right-click and "Save Target As".
salt_water_29.flv (5,282 k) flash format.
darwin_eye_001.flv (12,466 k) flash format, modified brightness and contrast (see embedded video below).
Here's the January 5, 2009 #29 clip adjusted for brightness and contrast, in hope to show more definition on the red eye spot:
Plankton sample taken from Atlantic Ocean/Intracoastal Waterway on January 5, 2009.
This critter (I presume to be a protozoan of some sort), was an important luck encounter. It is the third species of water organism I've seen and had the opportunity to make video and photography from. Which enters the argument for Darwin's theory relating to the "evolution of the eye". Whether or not Darwin's theory of natural selection is right or wrong is not the case, these creatures may be the basis for the argument, and my only interest is to obtain and provide stock photography for them. Numerous extracted photos for public educational use... the yellow disk that is setting nearby is the diatom, Coscinodiscus, a concentric diatom from the Atlantic Ocean for which I regularly make videos and photography.
