I found the green algae Dictyosphaerium and a whole bunch of bacteria in a water sample that I got from a pond. The cells of the algae were about 7 micrometers across, which is about the size of red blood cells. The bacteria are visible as black dots, and had the size of about 1 micron.

The wooden plank that goes into the pond (beginning of video) is a help for frogs to leave the pond.
