Rogelio,

these small amoeba and flagellate are very difficult to identify down to a species level. Whenever I see them in the microscope I move away so I am not tempted ;)

NIce shot and interesting structure of the nucleolus.

Regards
Ecki

For once, the nucleus is easy to see for a beginner. :)

They look a little flattened, maybe compressed by the cover glass? For any ID it is crucial to know how they move: eruptive or with a steady flow.
