We observe it with semi-polarized light and 100X immersion objective

The video is of higher quality
Wonder what it measures? (Guessing around less than 20 um) Especially cool to show the pond it came out of, also very fun to visit Parque Rodo in Montevideo via the miracle of Google Maps. Nicely put together Carlos, gracias amigo.
EDIT: After Carlos' reply, I look again and see the scale bar in the image. How'd I miss it? Maybe I need a microscope to look at the computer.
