To interact with the object, hold down the mouse button and drag the hand over the object. Rotational control is in the horizontal axis. When the hand passes over a frame containing a hot spot it changes into a white arrow pointing into the frame (only when the mouse button is not held down). Click to jump into the hot spot.

The hot spot is located on frames 8 through 11. Clicking on the hot spot presents a second QuickTime VR movie illustrating the aperture of Elphidium crispum through increasing orders of magnification. Control is in the vertical axis. There are hot spots on frames 1 through 4 and frame 21 to jump back to the global view of Elphidium crispum.
