Fast, fun to watch . . . . .

They do make cool photos and artwork and are amazing to watch!!!!

These photomicrographs were taken from many wastewater samples. Most of the objectives used were 40, 100x and 400x. Some photos were taken at 1000x.

Come take a closer look at the amazing world under the microscope!
