Answer::

Closterium & lots of rotifers living among the moss!

It is always fun to play with bright field and dark field viewing. The green closterium begins to glow when using dark field view.

I love watching the cilia twirling on top of the rotifer’s head!

And I never tire of the beauty of moss under the microscope!
