Iron Oxidizing Bacterium
The filament at the top center is the rusty mucous trail of the iron oxidizing bacterium Mariprofundus Ferroxydans. The bacterium is at the upper end of the filament and its attachment point on the microscope slide at the lower end. A human hair is about 100 times as thick as the filament. In other words a human hair would block most of the picture.
