Hmmm...what can this be?
I didn't capture much footage of this somewhat fast, rectangular vacuum-cleaner type lifeform, but here's my mystery fellow.
Hoping for a name to this interesting being. Yes, I agree, the zoom feature of this microscope ruined what little sharpness there was...apologies.

Gosh, that picture was awful.
This is not much better, but maybe a little bit better for identification.

It seems to be a telotroch form of some Peritrich ciliate.

@NachoBen: Much thanks! Google Lens was no help, and after reviewing quite a few excellent microphotography sites, I couldn't find this guy.
Much appreciate your patience with my awful photos. I'm working on it...

Usually Google helps. Not for yours... Using some keywords, I found this for cylindrical protozoa: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scyphidiidae#
