Zo′o-phyte-trough.

A device for retaining living zoophytes or infusoriae, which are to be examined under the microscope.

Zoophyte-trough.

The two sides are of glass, and it has a glass false bottom sufficiently narrow to admit the edges of two glass plates between it and the sides. This is movable, so that one of the plates may be inserted on each side, forming a reservoir for the water containing the zoophytes. The upper edges of the plates are pressed together by a spring, but may be separated as far as desired by a wedge.
