Hi! I'm a student from India, currently studying in 10th grade (ICSE board).

While examining a sample of dirty water at 340X magnification, I found something strange. I suspect it could be a microplastic of sorts, but the conjoined circular structures I observed are unlike anything I could identify. If anyone knows what this is (pictured below), please comment and let me know!
Apart from the unknown microbe I saw, let us dive into the other microbes I saw in the dirty water sample at 340X magnification!
I saw a variety of microbes, some motile and others unmoving. It was very hard to identify anything, but I think there were largely bacteria and protozoa.
I could also see some streaks on the glass slide.
