Dear Foldscope community,
Once a while out in the wild; we see something that really blows our mind. It’s even better when it’s at a microscopic scale.
Here is a question for all of you – try to guess what this is. Just for length scale – this is an object that’s 100um or so.

Another hint about the location of the objet I found it is given here.
This is at tide pools in Coal Pit Nature preserve in Santa Barbara.
I can’t wait to hear your responses. The moment I have 10 guesses; I will announce the winner 🙂 go for it.
Cheers
Manu
