Hi everyone,

I need help identifying as many as you can in the video, water sample was taken from the beach nearby.

Apologies for the horrible quality and the shakiness, I have a cheap microscope and an unsteady hand. I recognize a copepod in there and I have no clue what sort of worm I saw at 0:44. It almost reminded me of an ascaris that I saw in high school during my science classes.

Also, those small black dots are bacteria at 2:11? Or is there no way to tell by looking at the video? The magnification used varied from 4x to 10x with a eyepiece lens of 25x, so 100-250x?

Your help is greatly appreciated, and I understand if the video quality and shakiness are too bad to recognize anything. :cry:
