    Marc gets a sample of slime from a pond near the Zunag river in Ecuador and then puts it under the microscope so see what is there.
    Info on the gear I use: www.biodiversityshorts.com/gear
    INDEX
    1:52 - Tadpole
    3:17 - Paramecium - Thanks to Carlos and Rik, I have since learned that this is probably not Paramecium still it is some sort of Ciliate Protozoa.
    4:06 - Bacteria
    4:53 - Amoeba - Protozoa
    5:05 - Peranema - Flagellate Protozoa
    6:18 - Diatom
    6:39 - Spirogyra
    7:27 - Filamentous Bacteria
    8:15 - Chironomidae, Midge Fly Larvae
    The setup that I show in the video is a later one to that which I took the original shots.
    It was the same olympus microscope but rather than with the teleconverter I had unscrewed the top lens of the eyepiece and then mounted the camera on top of that with a tube, very budget but it worked!
    I am getting much better results with the new setup, of course it is still evolving and I will have another video using it soon.
    Enjoy.
    Thanks for watching, please subscribe, like and tell your friends.

    In the ciliate you observed, it looks like it burst (due to heat or being squished maybe). The granular stuff coming out looks like just cell contents including probably mitochondria (the small spherical things) instead of bacteria.
