How to collect protists.
This is my first post and I am protist monkey #3. The creek is filled with dirt, mud, and protists. The way you find protists is tie polyurethane blocks with nylon rope and submurge it in distilled water. Weigh it down with bricks and let down in water. I put three in the water, they went in a pool, a ripple, and a flow. After you get them in the water let them soak for a week or two. After they are done soaking examine them under a microscope.
