Need help identifying a few organisms

#1 Post by ptolatar » Mon Jul 17, 2017 1:05 pm

I recently had a chance to observe and photograph some microorganisms with my scope. Out of all the organisms I have observed, I had trouble identifying the following three:

So I was hoping I could get some help. All of the photos provided were taken with a 40x obj. Unfortunately, I can't provide an accurate scale as I don't yet have a stage micrometre. The microorganisms were sourced from moss soaked in water for about 5 hours.
And don't mind the uneven white balance, I screwed up the settings without realising at the time :roll: .
