is sometimes surprises me that people will spend thousands of dollars on a telescope that can be used only on clear nights, but if you pay 1000 dollars on a microscope, that you can use all the time, people think you are nuts
I always watch your videos, and I took biology in high school but I switched the course for chem, my teacher didn’t really inspire me that much, but I love microbiology as a hobby but I am trying to regain interest
This is a topic that I’ve wondered about, the relative size of some single cell organisms compared to microscopic multicellular organisms. Some large protozoa dwarf their multicellular neighbors. Are there some microscopic multicellular organisms with large enough internal cells to resolve these individual cells under the microscope? You mentioned the fixed number of cells in the gastrotrichs, which makes me believe there must be someway of observing these internal cells.
The "problem" with animals is that their cells do not have a cell wall and therefore the individual cells can not be seen easily. Plant cell walls are quite thick and therefore you can see them as separate. You can use stains to stein the DNA, which is inside the nucleus to make them visible. One nucleus per cell then becomes visible (and then you should be able to count them even).
Hello microbehunter. I have been watching four videos lately, and I have purchased a swift 380b microscope a few months ago, but lately I have been losing interest, any tips to get back into the hobby
I've just got a new microscope to study my soil - all Ive observed so far is bacteria and fungi. I need to get better to try to spot amoebas and nematodes etc etc. Your videos are INCREDIBLE ! I'll watch your back catalogue to be able to see all the soil life. This is a whole new world.. You're right - some of these are really cute!
This may be an odd question. If micro animals have muscle cells they use to move, how do single celled organisms move their cilia? Is it like the flagellar motor?
Another excellent microscopy video, Oliver. Could you please provide some instructionfor how to collect water samples? I've brought home dozens and can never seem to find anything in them.
Take some decomposing material (leaves, wood) from the water and add water and food, like a rice grain or cornflakes. Wait for 3-4 days. Be careful, also many bacteria.
I wonder if the lighting from the microscope warms them up and causes them to move fast like that? Cause I've gotten nematodes under mine before and they only get fast like that when I turn the light up for me to see them better 🤔 Thoughts anyone?
eutelic.....how can the nuber of cells be the same in each individuum....some of them may loose ciliates accidentialy others no..... an who has counted these cells....they are indiviuums
I would if you could possibly do a video on how to prepare slides for both wet and dry materials. I can never get the glass plate to stay stuck on, especially with dry materials. I always feel like i'm doing things completely wrong. Thanks for all the interesting videos!
This channel is just pure quality.

True
Bro they’re both good who gives a shit if you buy a 1000 dollar microscope / telescope
Despite the costs it it can come at sometimes Astronomy and Microscopy are both good hobbies (and studies)

Your videos are quite interesting and informative. Amazing stuff to watch.
Great brainy mindful entertainment is very fascinating!! Love this!!
Would be good if you state which microscope you're using each time. This one looks good
super video, thank you. what detail, esp the hair retraction mechanism! and the spitting out of a wrong food!

So cool. Thx again mate. Keep up the good work!

You should make a video about microorganisms that can be found in the sea water environment.

Add some water and let it sit. See how much rotifers you will find
10:47 must have just left the john, got some dirty tp stuck to his footsie 😂
😂😂
😂🤣😂
Omg they’re too cute 😭

What type of contrasting you used in these observations? The tardigrade is not so colorful in regular white field.
DIC technique and also contrast enhancement in the video editor.
Thanks for the good video ☺️
Annelids ...... almost like the name Daniel.
DANNIELS
What kind of microscope filters do you use?
I have built-in polarization filters now. But I find Darkfield and Oblique illumination to be the most versatile ones.
@@Microbehunter ok thanks!
I love these small beings thanks for this video it's great

@@Microbehunter, thank you! I'll give that a try.
I'm not a expert. But I'd say ponds and still body's of water would be good.
please tell the model of a microscope which you use in this video
...Well done...Our amazing world.....
Especially compared to a Stentor Coeruleus cell which is 4 millimeters in length.
Love your Videos so much lt is really nice...... ❤️
Where are you finding all these microbs sir?
Well, Oliver is the "Microbe Hunter"
@@stevenmarble2695 ok tq , but I am asking about microbs , where are these organisms found?
It's a whole new world to me

Yes mate i agree. LED light doesnt throw as much heat as the old skool bulbs. I need a LED bulb too as i get the same results as u. Microbes RULE!!
eutelic.....how can the nuber of cells be the same in each individuum....some of them may loose ciliates accidentialy others no.....
an who has counted these cells....they are indiviuums
Your are the inspiration for me to buy student microscope and open TH-cam channel.
Thank you for your great fun videos:)
Nice
You have a typo in your title there lol
Your face in the beginning looks like that you wanted to say something to us from last many years.

I love your videos!
please make more videos on amoebas
They're so Delasose
Hi i think your having a good day sir but im still waiting when you are going to make the video i ask you about.
Can't find your question. What do you want me to make the video on?
@@Microbehunter a few days ago i ask you to make a video of seeing dirty water with the student microscope or maybe with the junior scope microscope
Squizitzi!
🤣🤣🤣
