Vorticella sp. are often found in clusters, each stalk is individually attached to the surface. The stalk is made up of an external sheath that contains a fluid and a spirally arranged contractile fibril called a myoneme that contracts when stimulated.
When disturbed, the vorticella contracts and the stalk thread is shortened, causing the sheath to coil tightly like a spring.Phase Contrast illumination.
