Description: Video footage of Euplotes under the microscope. Euplotes is a genus of ciliates, which are protozoans which have cillia. Euplotes are found in freshwater and marine environments all over the world. They can be seen using their cirri to "walk" on substrates to get around or use their cirri to swim.
