Observed soil microorganisms (prepared sample by soaking a pinch of soil from my garden plant pot in water and took supernatant water) and amazed to observe world of micro organisms.

Observed a chlophyceae algae, assumed  like  Scenedesmus, but Scenedesmus is colonial and non motile structure, but the one i observed here is a solitary and motile one and these are the images and video of it’s movement

Also observed many spiral streaks like structures assumes like filamentamous diatoms or spiral algae may be but wondered to see so many structures like that in a single drop of water.
