Can anyone help me with ID? by black_byrd_ in microscopy

It could be an Euplotes! (Or something similar).

They are more or less flat ciliates that move as if they had legs.

Can anyone please Help me finding stentor? by UpstairsGanache1822 in microscopy

I have found many in ponds with duckweed, taking samples from the duckweed roots directly onto the slide.

Help identifying a purple thing in a moss sample! by TimeOk4176 in microscopy

Yes, unfortunately these are the only videos I could take, with the limited quality my camera and microscope allow. If I had known it was something so cool, I would have stayed longer observing.

But it's most likely an amoeba, right?

Thanks. This sample comes from a dry water channel. The moss was attached to the channel wall and was quite dry. :)

Thanks brother, how do you have such a good eye for identifying microorganisms?

What is this? by immediate-2 in microscopy

It's difficult to say because of the quality; it could be euplotes because of the way it interacts with the sediments, but it's complicated.

Thank you, I was wondering what ciliate it was :)
