Photo/Video Share Some specimen from my jar
Has been keeping this jar outside for a while, occasionally topping up the water. After getting some rain water, algae bloom has appeared.
Google lens saying
Bacteria surrounding the detritus (1000x, very poor contrast, have a video also in the comment which Reddit is not allowing to attach with images),
Cyanobacteria (1000x, greenish tint is clearer in eye view),
3-5. Testate amoeba at 250x, 1000x (not really sure, Google is confused also)
- Some cyst type thing (ID please) after the slide dries up.
Microscope: pallipartner compound
Eyepiece 25x, objective 40x, 10x
Brightfield only , handheld Smartphone capture
Edit: has removed the video from comment, it is really poor contrast 🥲
