When I first started to use my microscope to look at rotifers, it took me a while to realize I was using too high a power. Try the lowest magnification first, remembering a tiny movement of the sample up or down can mean going right on by the viewing as it can be very sensitive to adjust.
Also, sometimes if density of the rotifers is not high, then the sample drop may not actually have one or more rotifers in it.
