Celestron - First attempt at some fecals

I bought the Celestron 44340 and took a fresh fecal on Flynt a wild caught panther cham.

Direct smear with a drop of Sodium Chloride water.
The pictures may be out of focus so I took a few to browse through.
A few weeks ago the vet found flagellates and strongyloides. I was able to view them clearly using the vets equiptment, not so clear with the Celestron I have not been able to spot any strongyloides at all, just what seem to be flagellates. Can anyone confirm ?

Focus changes throughout hopefully someone with experience can spot something.

The photos and the video seem out of focus. I have a Celestron as well and I do floats instead of smears.
