From what I just read, the darkfield scopes are not usually used with contrast or stained samples. This means that often the details of the cells can be lost in the image.
I wonder if those things would be more identifiable using another type of scope with some contrast agent?
Its been a long while since I spent time gazing into a microscope.
Those things look like single celled “entities.” Usually a normal optical scope would not be powerful enough to see a virus...at least that was my understanding.

No. Viruses are too small to be seen with an optical microscope. An electron microscope is required to see viruses.
