Finally I have my new microscope. Now, I can see more details about my green algae over the crystal.
What do you think about?
Thanks

Could be an algae (aka cyano bacteria).


You typically see the “nut shell” shaped outer casing of a dino.

This may be helpful For you in id’ing some things under your microscope.

My guess is mainly a species of Cyanobacteria with some other critters that have ate the cyano.
 
I can't tell the magnification, but those could possibly be chrysophytes... golden, tiny spheres with no movement. They don't look like dinos to me.

There are some green critters in there that look like they have a pseudopod. So some variety, but I don't see anything that I think looks like dinos either.
