Here are 2 pictures:
Side view of the shell. the blurring at the top right of the image is due to the movement of cilia along the edge of their feeding apparatus called a velum.
End on view:
the picture is fuzzy but you can see the extended velum and the cilia along the edge.

Hey that is pretty cool. I think I've probably seen a gazillion of those snails, but never quite in that light. The movie is fantastic.
Just wondering, are you attending the GRC Microbial Population Biology?
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the movie. The images are small, but pretty good given the cost of the setup.
As for the GRC, I was not planning on going but it looks like a good meeting. I am trying to figure out if an abstract based on some biofilm data I have would be appropriate for the meeting.
You should go. The symposia are fairly conscribed, but the poster sessions are quite wide ranging.
