Classic Film/old college movie

Question
I don't know if you can help me or not...I am desperately trying to find the name of an old movie (1960's maybe)...at least I was in college in 1966-1970 when I saw it. It is a non-dialogue movie that has a camera zoom in on a fisherman on a lake in a boat, and a mosquito biting him and zooms slowly on and on and on deeper into the blood, down to cells and atoms and then zooms out quickly as if being withdrawn past the mosquito, the fisherman the lake, the sky, the clouds, the universe into blackness as I remember. It was SOOO powerful; I've not forgotten the effect or effects, but have never seen it since. I don't even know if it were some educational or philosophical instructional movie. It was so wonderful and would love to use it in my school...if you can help me find it,I truly would be sooooooooooooooo grateful.
Thank you,
Maggie Greene
