Principle

Many of the microscopic organisms found in water samples are protists. You may have already seen various ciliates so far. Another group of organisms that look like ciliates at first sight are the rotifers. They possess a crown of cilia on their head parts, the wheel organ or trochal disc, which induces vortical water movements. However, the rotifers are not unicellular but entirely multicellular organisms which possess, for example, a digestive system, a nervous system, and real muscles.
