This is an image of a drop of pond water examined through a foldscope. Obtained by sticking Falcon tube into the Caltech turtle pond at 4:50 PM, 4/8/19. The circular particles in the image are bacteria, surrounded by dirt particulates. Some indicators to the fact that these are in the domain bacteria are the fact that they are clear and sticking together. A greater magnification would allow the distinctions between microbacteria and dirt particles to be more clear.
