I don’t know if these are good enough but I’ve been trying to identify some nuisance algae in my tank. I have a few issues but want to start there. Admittedly I am quite new to this so these may not be good enough.
I use a 25x lens with a x2 attachment.
Then I start with the 4x scope and switch to the 5x once I find what I want. I zoom in as far as I can with my phone (iPhone 15cpro max) until it starts blurring. It doesn’t seem to work so well. Taking pics with the phone. The phone is on a phone mount.

Sorry, nothing here of any use to identify your organisms.
