Dance of the Gregarines

Protistan parasites from a damselfly gut engage in what looks suspiciously like a mating ritual. Pictures were shot using a Nikon AlphaPhot teaching compound microscope with a trinocular head and a mounted camera. Ill shoot some scales and post them separately as a short video. Lowest mags were with a 4X objectives, next mags with a 10X objective, and highest with a 40X objective. The camera tube has no separate eyepiece lens. Thanks for the suggestions!.
