Can anyone help identify this organism?

#1 Post by DinoBoy » Sun Jun 27, 2021 11:45 am

Hello, I came across this organism while observing a water sample from a pond. I have attached 2 images of the organism. The organism seems to have cilia all around it but have not seen any other features. It can swim but it keeps rolling while doing so. I used a microscope camera and the lowest objective magnification was 4x and the highest was a 10x objective magnification. I live in Japan and it is currently summer.

I wanted to send short videos but for some reason this forum won’t let me. So here is a link to the video on YouTube.

If you require any more information I’ll do my best to provide them.

Thank you for reading.
