Chlamydomonas with Flagella

Here is one of the little guys from the Christmas Germs post below where I wondered if they moved with a flagella or cilia. Here, at 1000x, we can actually see the flagella when it's not moving.



I believe this is a Chlamydomonas protozoan because it has a red eye spot and looks like these Chlamydomas species on Wikipedia.

Pin-tip

Here's the tip of a pin at 400x. It doesn't look very sharp, does it?
