Attached below are two images of a microscope slide. I am trying to figure out if these are Dinos or cynos so I can deal with them appropriately. Is someone able to help me out. Thankyou in advance.

Attached below is the most I could focus on them, whilst taking a photo of the microscope slide.

There are some dinos there - maybe prorocentrum or amphidinium. can't say. But that sample is dominated by cyano.
