under the microscope

we recorded the below footage using a video camera adapted to a microscope and output to a laptop.  we didn't hack this per se, one of our memebers owns the tool, but we did have to set up the tools, gather the pond water, and chase this guy around.  might seem boring now, but we were very excited during.

there was some debate about this life form. some thought it was a recently publicized nuisance.  still unresolved. see pictures below.
