Hi Thomas,
A sensor based on acoustic wave technology may be more =
apropriate than a traditional microphone or hydrophone in this case.
You can read about such sensors here:-
http://www.sensorsmag.com/articles/1000/68/main.shtml
And an overview of biosensors:

If you can observe the critters, perhaps a high speed camera coupled to the
microscope with video to acoustic processing via max/msp or puredata may wo=
rk?

Probably because our ears have evolved for the intended spectrum, any work =
in
this area could be considered translation or transposition of one region on=
to another.
An interesting project if you can get it off the ground.
btw Piezo cantilever mic's are on my to-do list :)

Mike.
