Ostracods and copepod. Darkfield illuminated polarised light micrograph of two ostracods (seed shrimp, yellow) and a single copepod (bottom right). Ostracods and copepods are microscopic aquatic crustaceans found in waters around the world. Ostracods' bodies are flattened from side to side and protected by a bivalve-like shell. Copepods may either be free living or parasitic on other organisms. Magnification: x28, when printed 10 centimetres wide.
