Wierd behaivor from unknown microorganism
Hi guys. Can somebody tell me what is this microorganism and what is it doing?
Sorry, I’m really new to the microscopic world and my biology is as good as what I learn in high school.
It looks like it is expulsing bubbles.
Sorry for the bad image, my microscope is a cheap Chinese one

Hmm you may want to open your substage Iris a bit it will increase your resolution and obscure the out of focus schmutz somewhat.

Thanks Bram. I still trying to figure out the best practice techniques

Also make sure your condenser is just below the slide - say a millimeter or two.Hmm you may want to open your substage Iris a bit it will increase your resolution and obscure the out of focus schmutz somewhat.
What objective did you use? It is a little small to see much detail. It seems to have a flagella.

Hi 75RR,
I used 10x eyepieces and 60x plan achromatic. The video is raw from my cellphone. I played around with the condenser and iris, but with my lack of knowledge this is the best I got.
Yes, it subject has a flagelo

HI I agree the organism is too small in the video - with a 63X objective you should be able to zoom in more. Also try hold your cell phone side ways, and if you would like to do more consider attaching a digital camera either a dedicated microscope camera eg. form AMscopes.com or get a phone holder on Amazon and zoom in.
Good luck

Thanks Rob. I used a 60x and used an adapter with my cellphone. I probably can get a better image, but I’m still working on my skills. I just bought(today) a set of filtef stoppers, so I’ll be playing around with them.
In thw following days, I’m looking to buy a cheap microscope camera from ebay.
Thanks for the advices!
