Below are some links to some places that can help you learn more about organisms you can find while exploring the microcosmos! (Not affiliated)

An amazing website with hundreds of different images of microbes. A great introduction for people just looking for similar things they have found in their water samples.

 

Another good one with picture identification along with some information on the microbes shown.

 

If you can't find your findings online, try posting them to r/microscopy! It is a forum full of people who love the hobby and will try to help out with the best of their knowledge:)

You can make these filters at home or you can buy them on ebay for a slightly better quality. (If you have a 3D printer, then you can print them at home.)
 
I will add more sources as I find them:)
