Really nice quality! :)

This isn't Paramecium, but a species in the Stylonychia mytilus complex.

Great video, sir! May you please tell me what microscope and camera attachment you are using? I want to buy a camera for my Amscope T490B-DK, but i dont know where to start.

Thank you Bruce you are like a reference book with all your knowledge😁 Iwuvbunny thanks for comment😊 My microscope is a Novel N-200M and my camera is a chinese 5 Mp from Ebay. I am a beginner in microscopy and film through the microscope so i want to buy better equipment in the future. I think you can buy much better camera if you look at Ebay or invest in some DSLR camera with adapter for your microscope. But if you want to begin with a very cheap camera so look around after a toupcam. I am rather pleased with my toupcam like my first microscope camera. I think also you can find recommendations and better tips here on the forum from all experts-member. //KD

Thank you, KD arviddson for both the geographic locale image.....before the visit to your ciliates specific realm! Wow but ciliate protozoans are so complex...a foolish notion we had when I was a child, that: 'protozoa are the most primitive and simplest of animals. I really enjoy the 'big picture image', of the pond you collected these protozoans from. charlie guevara, finger lakes/US

Thank you sinabro and Charlie for nice comment! I understand that microcosmos are complicated and difficult to learn. But that is why it is so fantastic and exciting :D //KD
