Baxter Pond Paramecia!!

paramecia swimming around in a sample of pond water collected from the pond next to Baxter Hall (collected at 6:00 pm 4/10/19 in a test tube)

paramecia: domain eukaryote, size: .25 mm (guessed it was paramecia based on appearance)

foldscope lens magnification: 140x

Some possible questions: are there any other forms of life in the sample? (observe more slides) are paramecia thriving in this pond water?

I could look into this by collecting more samples and seeing if the organism is actually a paramecia by comparing it to known samples.
