Keywords: Some aggressive water moving going on here. Initially the pond water incubator (room temperature) was turbid due to silt that quickly settled. But the water then turned brown probably due to bacteria. After about a week the water is crystal clear above the silt and ongoing decay bottom and below the still floating and decomposing grass strands, quite possibly assisted by critters like this that are continually processing the water for floating digestible organics. There were also two very fast critters that look to be Paramecium or similar, way too fast to capture even on video without adding a viscosity agent. Fl 40X Plan objective, one drop of pond water in a concave slide with coverslip. Also tried the original 40X achromat that originally came with the S-Kt, same yellow coloration seen. My suspicion is the depth of the water between subject and .17 mm cover glass. Color fringe not seen when viewing topside chrome mask calibration slide (10 micron ruler) with same cover glass on top.
