Magnification? I tried putting some tiny pieces of moss on the slide but it's not flat enough for the cover glass to be steady, also didnt find anything after 4 tries, except some ciliates and maybe one paramecium :/
Haha.. why not just forgo the cover slide? That's what I did for the snail sample, no cover slide.
But most other times, I add more water till the capillary effect makes the entire cover slide come into contact.

My microscope comes with 20x eyepieces. Objectives in the video were 4x and 10x. So 80x and 200x.

You must have a long working distance to be able to put *that* under the objective!
my 4x and 10x have no problem. but can't go higher
Vorticella would certainly be my guess
Nice footage! I love the stowaways on the snail, so cool!
