🔬 CYCLOPS: Where to find them and how to put them under the microscope



Cyclops are fresh water crustaceans. They belong to the Copepods, There are about 400 different species of them. In this video I show you where you can find them and how you can observe them under the microscope. If you do not have access to a pond, then I suggest that you buy eggs of Artemia salina (these are brine shrimp and are also known as “Sea Monkeys”, for salt water) or Triops, which are fresh water crustaceans. They are sold for children but sometimes shops for aquariums also have them (as fish food). They are not the same as Cyclops, of course, but are also interesting to watch.
