Reminds me of Pegasys Interferon (biosynthetic interferon) from twenty years ago that was created and used to grab and consume Hep C virus (or so it was said...). I am NOT saying I believe in viruses.

It's difficult to find photos of the biosynthetic Interferon cells now. They seem to have been wiped. The photos I mean. Though they were all the rage for a few years in Hep C treatment.

It seems these critters are trying to eat the RBCs. Like PacMan with tentacles. Poor RBCs. Though many seem to escape. YES!

Thank you, Matt. I wish the carrier (blood sample donor) continued good health.

Hello Matt!

Very intriguing life forms and behaviour, to say the least. Great finds!

These look like what they usually try to sell us as Covid-19 and viruses images except that we, for once, see them move.

The two forms have a purple rectangle area inside. Could you increase the magnification? I long to watch your time lapse video!

The probing protuberances fungus-like are so creepy. Could they be juveniles hydras?

Warm regards.
