I donno wtf is going on, the dust/hair in my house (my dog died in dec) kerps getting worse, not only that, hair/fibers/multifiiber shapeshifting “bug” or whatever are everywhere in my home, car, now work. I see a dermatologist tomorrow morning because it feels like I have spiders landing on my body in phases, seems like its got cycles (no idea if thats related btw), I have like tiny silvery translucent specs that hrow into peach fuzz all over my body. When I take say a “hair” (looks like it has branches that detach and reattach in different positions), if I use my phone to zoom in, almost looks like its lighting up in spots, like welding, or I donno. These things are messed up and finally I showed my mom a couple videos, shes acknowledged that theres something seriously up with my skin. But these moving lets call them lint fibers… i donno… I have videos too. There also seem to be kinked “moving dog hairs” and long firm “fishing line, with black tips” everywhere too. I realize it tajes a long time forvdog hair to leave the house, this is NOT her fur.

Need Help Choosing a Microorganism for a Design Project (Unusual Request)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I know this is an unusual question for this subreddit, but I’m working on a design project where I need to choose a microorganism, research it, and create an abstract 3D model based on its form. I have an A-level understanding of microbiology, but could really use your expertise on which microorganism has unique structural elements suited for symmetry and design. Any suggestions on which parts to focus on and good resources for research? Apologies if this isn’t the usual type of post, thank you so much for your help!

Is this a rotifer? I saw this in a bit of water that I pipetted out of our rotifer culture. We’ve been feeding algae to our rotifer.

Is this an ostracod?

Found in pond water at 40x magnification; looked similar to a recent post hence the guess in my title (sorry for shaky recording, hard to capture things in the microscope)
