We have been investigating how to use Paramecium for bio-micromachines. Paramecium was controlled by the weak electrical field by applying their negative galvanotaxis. In our previous paper, we succeeded controlling paramecium very stably for over 100 laps along the star-shaped target route in the vertical plane pool. We also succeeded to transport the object by using Paramecium. The transportation efficiency, however, was very bad due to the paramecium’s soft and fluid dynamic round body. Therefore, we tried to make the operation tool for paramecium. In 2005, we succeed to attach the washer-like shaped operation tool made of polypropylene film. The attachment technic of operation tool, however, is very difficult and we could not reproduce the condition of wearing the operation tool with paramecium with keeping the physiological activity. In this report, we reproduce this condition by improving the attachment apparatus, procedure and observing camera resolution.
