These photos are made with a webcam on an achromatic scope using the camera in afocal mode.

The illumination is a home-made white LED and the scope mag. is 400X

This first one, I believe. is a Colpoda.

This dividing pair may be Acanthocystis. Any suggestions?

Good morning

I agree that your first picture is Colpoda and I think that your second one is likely Actinophrys ..
