These specimens were from local (Ohio) pond water. My son found what appears to be an egg case and a whatever. Can anyone identify them?
Thank you,

Thank you, 75RR, for your answer to my question. I am currently in the process of buying a 465277 condenser for my Zeiss Standard 14 which I recently purchased and tried to post pictures of under "My Microscope". Again, thanks for your help.

Hi to Hobbyst 46 and 75RR, Thank you both for your prompt reply. I have read your replies to my questions and appreciate your insight.
