Here is a link I just found on a news web site.

It shows some tiny creatures that were photographed while viewed under a microscope. I found this interesting. I used some of these techniques in the past to take pictures of small things that I was viewing under a microscope. It's called Photo-microscopy. I used this technique to view small particles of air pollutants that I captured on a fiberglass 8" x 10" filter that had ambient air pulled though the filter for 24 hours at a high volume. I was looking to see what type of particles were being captured on the filters. This in turn told me what's in the air pollution and potentially where the particles came from. I was part of a team of scientists that were studying the air pollution problems in a big city in Indiana.
Some of the pictures show tiny bugs that may live in the waters you and I fish. These are the tiny bugs that the small minnows and fish eat for dinner. These phytoplankton organisms help form the lower part of the food chain in a body of water.
Increasing levels of phosphates in a lake can enhance the growth and reproduction of many of these small plants and animals that live in the lakes that you and I fish.
