After a lovely Christmas dinner, my 6-year old nephew (H) and I settle down with a foldscope. And off course we decide to look at spit; in search of bacteria. This is video with the regular basic foldscope without light module. We use just the hanging light in the room as our light source.
Enjoy!!

Here is the full 2min video I captured.
Always keep exploring.
Cheers
Manu and H
