This image shows an organism in the lower left corner. It is long and extends past the view of the screen. The sample collected from the turtle pond tuesday 4/9 at night. The slide was prepared and the picture was taken on 4/9 at 8:50pm. The sample was prepared from scooping a cup of water out of the turtle pond and putting a drop on a slide.


 How do you improve image quality and focus better on image? An approach: clean lens, use focus wedge, prepare samples with less dirt.


 What’s the organism? Look at images of similar organisms based on the region and environment.
