Nice! That a water bear (green lunch visible) at 1:03?

Yep, it's a small water bear, I managed to film loads from that sample, I'll post a little video as soon as I found some time to edit it. :)

Hi, it's called darkfield illumination and is very easy to get for objectives up to 10x.
What you need is a black stop centered under the condener.
