Observation of biotic components under light microscopes


Observation of biotic components under light microscopes

The Water
We took out some water from our aqua zone, and observed the water under a light microscope. The water was relatively clean but some plant fragments that have gone through the recycled water where clearly visible and some small pieces of swimming algae where also visible.

The Soil
In the soil there are no clear biotic components and the soil has a rich appearance. The soil looks moist.
