Hello everyone,
A few days ago,in college, we were taught how to prepare a hay infusion broth.Our teachers have used pond water sample as an inoculum here.We were told to observe the organisms under our compound microscopes and obviously that was for a limited time which didn’t suffice my curiosity. I wanted to play around with these ciliates a bit more and try to identify them so I got home some of the sample and examined it under my foldscope to observe these amazing ciliates.
