Today at work in the lab I captured this pretty cool footage of an aquatic biofilm (a biofilm can be crudely defined as any group of micro-organisms that stick to each other on a surface). In this case it is mainly an algal based biofilm, but the abundance of nematode worms makes for interesting viewing. This was captured using a light microscope at medium-high power and filmed by holding a smartphone to the lens. Make sure the video is set to HD when viewing.
