@dr.bioforever: The diversity of life that you can find in a body of water like this pond is just incredible. A single drop of water is full of life. Life happening in a different dimension! . Some of the microscopic organisms that you see in the video are animals (multicellular organisms) but most of the microscopic organisms that you see are unicellular organisms (made by just one cell). It is pretty amazing how the size of some of the unicellular organisms matches the size of the micro-animals that appear in this reel. . These are the microorganisms that you see in the video (in order of appearance): Coleps (a beautiful ciliated protozoan) Rotifer pushing a diatom and another rotifer swimming by Another diatom A ciliated protozoan Another ciliated protozoan Rotifer Diatom and Euglenoid Filamentous alga and small ciliated protozoan Ciliated protozoan A ciliated protozoan Another ciliated protozoan Vorticella Diatom and another Euglenoid as well as unicellular algae 2 diatoms . For this video I used an Olympus CX31 microscope at up to 400x magnification #microscopy #microorganisms #ecology #LearnBiologyOnTikTok #biology
