The picture of this creature is on http://indafoto.hu/weiszjuli/image/735613-4f74428d.
It moved slowly forward in a  drop of puddle. I think, it must be a
very common organism, however I could not find its name. Can somebody
help me?

Thanks,
Julia Weisz

Hello N10,

The magnification was 400x. I estimate that the length of this
organism was about 1/3-1/2 of the length of a paramecium. (But I am
not very good in estimation.)
Thanks,
Julia

Hello Again

Do you think the two polarised  large intracelluar structures in the
photomicrograph are Chloropasts or is the organism perhapes binuleate ?

Regards N10

Hi,
sorry because of the delay. I have no idea what these structures can
be

cyanobacteria comes to mind... synecococcus lividus  or s.elongatus...
If you look at the picture here you may see the similarities
