This paper deals with a method of employing videomicroscopy in the study of meiofauna. The apparatus is inexpensive, easy to use, and offers a high degree of resolution. Accurate measurements of the specimen can be made directly from the video monitor screen. With the addition of a videocassette recorder, live footage can be recorded for analysis, correspondence, or as an aid in teaching.
