Collected in fresh water.
About 45µm in diameter. Last image (gif) shows flagella in slow motion.

From water in roadside ditch, lined with various mosses and liverworts. 400x magnification.
This is for the bottom filament, not the Spirogyra. Very numerous filamentous alga in a small freshwater pond
Ciliate found in a diatom film at the bottom of a freshwater stream. Attempting to 'swallow' one of the diatoms, but it escaped.
Barrel-shaped, sort of tapered ciliate found in a small freshwater pond. Has some stout 'bristles' at its wide end. Rigid shape.
Found on the surface of Hydra viridissima (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/59045337). Their tops appeared to make a whirling motion reminiscent of rotifers or vorticella when I viewed them in dark field, but in bright field it looked like only the bottom parts were moving, and only slightly at that. They also appeared to be crawling on the surface of the hydra under darkfield, but when I switched to BF they seemed stationary. This could possibly be because the slide was starting to dry up by then instead of an illusion.
Collected in pond water sample.
Micrograph.

Me parece un protozoo, pero se movía de una forma muy extraña, avanzaba dando vueltas en sí mismo, no como los protozoos que había visto anteriormente... No creo que sea un paramecio... (musgo, 400x)
Varios especímenes observados a lo largo del mes de junio.
