Nice.  Could those be some kind of pollen?

They do look like pollen, only they are from a sample taken from the bottom of a collection jar that includes algae and rotifers, so I don't think they could be.

Are they some sort of Volvox? Or perhaps Chrysophycea maybe?

Had a look, but without an exact match it is hard to tell.
