In this observation a saw a number of new things.
The first image is a Centropyxis sp. It is a testate amoeba with lobos pseudopodia. It has a flattened ventral surface with a single aperture located near the end(D.J. Patterso, Pg.95).
This image is Chroococcus sp. As you can see from the picture it is green and hemispherical.
In this picture there is a Closterium sp. From looking at the picture you can see that it is green and is also curved shaped. If you look close you can see that it has a nucleus in the middle of it.
This is a nice picture of a Cyclops. By looking at the picture you can see that it is very large.
In this picture you can see the end of a Doro sp. The Doro sp. as a whole was very long and was very active.
This image is a Limnias sp. You are able to see the head of it in the image, and when looking at it under the microscope the head was moving back and forth very frequently.
Overall this was a good observation and i was able to see a lot of things and get some pretty good pictures. Fortunately i was able two find all of these in two books.
