This sample was prepared through using common laboratory techniques after acquiring the mud. The sample was acquired by waiting for it to rain outside. Once mud formed outside, a sample of it was taken and stored in a ziploc bag to be studied the next day. The slide was prepared by dripping water on it and then attaching a cover slip on it. The picture was then taken through the use of the attached light and a cell phone. There seems to be some slightly transparent microorganisms in the sample resembling bacilli.
