Welcome to a Marvellous world of Microbes! Thank you for looking.
This is my repository of observations from a hidden world which is all around us. Observing these tiny creatures is something I regard as a privilege, & I hope to share the beauty & complexity of this world with you.
I gather samples from local rivers, ponds, puddles, fountains, bird baths, and several large jars which have lived in my back garden for a couple of years. They are open to the rain and elements and it's fascinating to watch different populations come and go with the seasons.
I try to research and learn about the creatures I see, but my attempts at identification are little more than best guesses. I therefor welcome any suggestions and/or corrections.
I use a Motic BA210, Ceti Topic, & Swift S7. The camera is a Bresser MikrOcular. Links to all are given below.

I collect samples from rivers, ponds, bird baths, fountains, etc. & they are always FULL of life. Check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotifer for more info on rotifers. 😃

I discovered few days ago a bunch of those pretty orange rotifers for the first time and was asking myself about what they ingested to make their stomachs look so orange! Your guess seems to be the answer and I'll do some more readings about those Haematococcus algae! I will soon publish a video of those colourful rotifers on my channel...
As per my bio, a local river, pond, a couple of fountains, a bird bath and various other containers which live in my back yard all year round. Collections involves little more than a selection of S/M/L droppers and clean sample pots.
If people only actually knew how amazing these microscopic creatures are. Now u got me watching all your videos. I wished you would explain them though that would have been superb
