Have you ever examined a drop of pondwater under a microscope? This droplet contains a variety of living creatures, including the lesser-known Kingdom Protista or Protists. So what exactly are these microorganisms? Join us for this zoomed-in view of the protist world using a compound microscope and learn how they survive in their micro-environment.
