Bacteria in your water! (water under a microscope)

Drop of lets just say ‘bad’ water viewed under a microscope at 440X zoom. Recorded in Bio lab for no real reason other than to see if the camera could record video through the lens. The teacher found this to be really neat. The small balls are bacteria and the thing swimming around is a protist.

lol that protist cracks me up
Yeah, but you’ll need a toothpick, a pencil or something like that would be too big.
is that a paramecium?
I’ll name you Fred, and you Steve, and you Mack…
Mmm now I’m thirsty!
The organism spinning in the sample of water is a ciliated protozoan. It’s probably tetrahymena. It’s commonly found in ponds, ditches, aquariums and the like.
Is that a paramecium
