Light microscopy of two Blepharisma protozoa undergoing conjugation as they swim about in pond water. Conjugation is a process during which the cells exchange genetic material, making it analogous to sexual reproduction. The cells divide by binary fission after the exchange is complete. Blepharisma is a predatory ciliate found worldwide. Recorded under Nomarski differential interference contrast illumination.
