How cool. We should have a waterbear hunt sometime. Have folks bring in some water samples and we’ll get the microscopes out to try and find some. I bet even the inspection scope in the electronics area has enough magnification to see them. I need more free time in my life..

Rotifers, stentor and bursaria are very neat too. Volvox is really beautiful. I have only seen 2 water bears ever! and thousands of the other thingys. Supposedly moss has lots of water bears but I have never been lucky finding them. So don't be disappointing if you don't find them.

New much magnification would you need to see them?

We've got an inspection scope at work. I think I'll start bringing in wet moss.
