How to prepare micro-organisms for aesthetic purpose ?

Hi,

I'm new here with a microscope Bresser Biolux A - 20 X 1280.
I wanted to see micro-organism for example in rotten water as I did when I
was young, with a cheaper machine.
I took some forgotten, dirty water in a square nearby, but the only thing I
can see is some blur spheres moving, there seems to be nobody in this water
!!!!

Also with the barlow lens and 40 X it's very hard to have clear vision, to
focus anything.
I know one must start with lower focus but when I was young I had no problem
to see clearly those animals.
And I fear to see nothing with lower lens.

What should I take to have many life into ?

Thanks !!!

Julian
