400x Magnification of Stagnant Rain Water

I bought a new Compound Microscope with upto 1600x Magnification. So I decided to put it to use. After collecting some stagnant rain water from the side of the street I used my Samsung 5.0 MP camera to record a video of what I saw at 400x Magnification. I would of did a larger
magnification but the light going through the eyepiece is not sufficient at larger magnifications.

I do not know the species in the video.

Please remember this was all filmed through the eye piece so the quality
is what it is.

I hope to post more videos of the micro-world i hope to discover on my on.

whats the black stuff?

[jarjarbinks77]

The microscope provides only a round lens, where the camera records through a rectangle lens. If your talking about the black stuff in the middle is simply dirt material in the water that was to thick for the light to shine through.
