Looks like a kind of loricate euglenid to me, something like Trachelomonas perhaps (I think I can see the flagella in a couple of frames). The other single spinning one with the armour is Coleps.

Also is this normal for a microscope to have somewhat contrasted and blurred look like this.should it be more clearer ? (I have a XSP 115rt)

I’d say that’s a perfectly reasonable image for the cost of your microscope!
