When I started this project I did not think I would be photographing bacteria with a standard camera, or would be including bacteria on the website. I've since found that there are a few single-celled bacteria that are nearly visible to the naked eye which warrants their inclusion here, but I must add that they'd not be included at all if it wasn't for the expert help that I have received, I just find them!
