The image is a Foldscope image of a sample of pond water. The sample was obtained at Caltech’s Turtle Pond on 4/8/19 at around 4:50 pm. The sample was obtained by sticking a falcon tube into the pond and collecting some of the pond water.


 The domain of this organism is bacteria. This is because the organism doesn’t appear to have a nucleus and since this sample is from the turtle pond, we can assume that there is a lot of bacteria present in our pond water sample.
