When both Dactylochlamys pisciformis and Dactyloclamys hystriz were discovered, the ability to study them at the genetic level wasn't available yet. But this is a different era, and James took the slide with the coverslip on top and floated it in water, letting him carefully remove the coverslip without killing the precious organism inside. Then, he needed to clean the Dactyloclamys. So he used a pipette to grab the organism and move it over to a clean drop of water and then again to another drop. And then one more, to one last drop before storing it in a tiny tube in his freezer. From there, this frozen Dactyloclamys will have part of its DNA sequenced, revealing the genes that make it the way it is and maybe even uncovering some of its closest microbial relations.
