Well, I mixed pond water with salt, and I realized why there wasn't much bacteria in sea water (the salt caused them to stop moving).

Salt crystals are surprisingly intricate. Going to mix it with pond water next (thankfully, it stopped raining).
I mixed detergent with some pond water, and the bacteria melted faster than alcohol (it's like watching them turn into soup).
Needles are really dull up close, and based on the amount bacteria on it; it's best to sterilize it with alcohol.
There's a surprising amount of fungi in the dirt of your nails (this is why I keep my nails short and manicured).
Lotion look like water droplets when viewed through the microscope. I wonder if different brands would look any different.
Orange cells are strangely enough oval shaped (you'd think it'd square shape considering it's floral).
Can confirm. There are no worm in the banana (at least the one I looked through the microscope).
Today, I looked at ice cream (still frozen) through the microscope. Lots of ice crystals, and some...air bubbles?
Well, I look at some orange juice (with pulp) through the microscope, and noticed some square shaped cells still in the juice. Looks like we're still ingesting plant matter.
So, I look at yogurt under the microscope, and saw plenty of bacteria (most of them are probably beneficial).
So I took the pond water and mixed it with bleach this time, the bacteria stopped moving, some just melted, and a few other creatures just shrank for some reason.
If you look at chocolate under the microscope, it looks like the landscape of Mars.
Seeds have a more intricate pattern than they appear when viewed through the microscope.
Okay, so I took the same pond water and mixed it with hydrogen peroxide. The bacteria also stopped moving and some burst from bubbles.
Okay, this time I took some pond water, and mixed it with 70% alcohol. The bacteria just stopped moving, proving yes, alcohol is a pretty good disinfectant.
So, I took some pond water and mixed with some bleach. Long story short; most of the organisms had disappeared when I looked at it again.
Cardboard looks like wood under the microscope.
It took a minute for the boiling water to not fog up the lens, but I finally managed to examine it. From what I could tell, the microorganism from the sample are all gone.
So I froze some water to look under my microscope; the water went from fluid drops to frozen microscopic cubes. I'll try boiling it next.
