Image quality not the best, hope to think I have improved in the past 7 years.
Anyway, a simple technique for small aquatics.

Sorting through some old files and found this from December 2007.

No man can be truly called an entomologist,

See also http://www.micromagus.net/index_micro.html for a variant on this idea, allowing different thickness cells

Though we lean upon the same balustrade, the colours of the mountain are different.

I've done it with hot glue alone between the glass layers. The thickness or the glue bead can be varied to permit different cell thickness; multiple beads of hot glue can be stacked to create considerable cell thickness.
And of course, a cover slip also makes a nice front, with less thickness.

That's a great idea NU ... perfect for horizontal scope viewing, like in my case ... as in create one using 2 slides it'll even clamp in the vertical 'X-Y Stage' with a little help ...
And the glue gun idea, brilliant ...

As Graham pointed it is an old idea.
Worth reminding people about it. As terrestrial life 'disappears' in northern NA there is still lots to be found in water.
As long as there is liquid water there will be a multitude of species in the sediment and amongst anything in the water column such as aquatic plants and even garbage.
If the surface is frozen break through - been there, done that - and scoop up some of the bottom sediment. Much of the life will be microscopic but there will also be macro stuff that can be imaged using such a device.
