The samples and information were provided by professor Kenneth D McFarland of the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Citation clarification to come.
Hand made micro tanks were made by our professor just for this lab. we were also provided with microscopes as well as equipment that will allow us to take and post pictures straight from the sample while under the microscope.
After water sample and plants were placed in the micro aquarium we were given the chance to get an initial look at our samples and get to classifying what we saw. In this lab all sighting and classifications are confirmed through the professor and TA before post.
In this first look the only thing found in the sample was a simple rotifer known as Scaridium which is brown in color and has the shape of the drawing number 47 provided below (Josef (year unknown until next class) ).
