Wonderful video. I like how you take us out into nature with you and go hunt for specimens. Keep up the great work!
Very nice microscopy.
Your part of the world around where you live in the countryside looks quite beautiful.
Tardigrades do need to be dried slowly. A glass-like matrix forms within cells to protect the cellular contents upon desiccation. This takes time.
Ach die Landschaft ist wirklich wunderschön. Ich mag die Videos wo du uns mitnimmst um Proben zu sammeln.
My absolute favourite modern observer of the (normally) invisible world. The wonder that Hooke felt is alive and well every time someone peers through a microscope.
I only just found your channel and am very glad I did. I will look through your back catalogue, to see if you have made a video about Micrographia and the techniques used in early microscopes, if not, well I'd appreciate it for one.
I really like the way you present and make content. Wonderful.
Hi. I found your videos several weeks ago after following a number of microscopy Instagram pages. I just got a really cheap old school microscope today (as in it was used in a school I think - but it's also pretty 'old school' as it has no light source etc). Anyway I grabbed a bit of moss, poured water on it, squeezed it out and had a look and saw loads of rotifers and other creatures I couldn't focus on as they were moving so fast. I'm going to have to check out all your beginner video rips again as I cant get to x40 objective properly
Spectacular environs!
I'm studying epidemiology, and I’ve always been interested in microbiology, this is so cool, I hope I can pull off finding one when I get my first microscope hopefully
Where I live it's impossible to walk by an area that isn't teeming with life. Moss takes root on gravel and concrete, there's a wetland forming directly adjacent to a sidewalk I use every day, and the bush is full of American woodcocks and red winged blackbirds.
Greetings to all! These cute little animals live in my house in a terrarium.
I don't like to imagine that my organs would move around inside my body that much! I'm just going to try to not think about it LOL
What a beautiful town!
Microbiology ❤️
Can you please do another nature hunt for Lychens and show what the symbiosis of Fungi and Algae looks like under the microscope? Thanks
I have been looking for tardigrades off and on for more than 6 months for an art project. I have looked at moss on bricks, in forests on fallen trees, and on lichen on tree branches and the roof. I put the moss in petri dishes, wet and wait. I find loads of nematodes, rotifers and other tiny critters. But no tardigrades. I'm beginning to think of them as a microscopic bigfoot. How do these supposedly very common animals keep evading me? Any ideas?
The big rocks moved by the glacier are called erratics. :-)
Thanks for the post processing tip on color.
Quick question. With traditional photography, the F stop/aperture settings allow you to change depth of field ( how blurry the background is). How do you achieve a deeper depth of field in microscopes? Do different brands do better or worse, or is it based on barrel size?
DOF is adjusted not with the camera but with the condenser aperture diaphragm, which is located beneath the stage. This diaphragm also changes the brightness (like in a camera) but also contrast. The more you close the diaphragm, the larger the DOF and the stronger the contrast and the lower the brightness.
@@Microbehunter what would you recommend to increase depth of field if you don’t mind me asking? I love your videos and they’re super informative and you’re super fun to learn from :)
The snow is all melted and it won’t be freezing anymore! Can’t wait to go find these animals :)
Great thankyou !!
nice, thanks
Best channel on youtube
Are there legless tardigrades? I was looking at something from my fish tank yesterday and it looked just like a tardigrade, but it had no legs.
Thanks again Oliver. I noted you rehydrated the moss with tap water. Doesn't that introduce chlorine to your sample? I'm just wondering if that has a negative effect (since as a fish pond owner, I've always avoided fresh tap water).
The tap water that we have is chlorine free. If it is chlorinated, then this is indeed not good. Let it stand for a few days for the Chlorine to escape or use bottled water.
Cool Stuff U show. I’m also educated by Ur explanations. 👌. The nematode, is that a Dangerous to us type? Also, what part of the ‘paddock’ do U live? Looks familiar. 💪🐨👍. Stay In Tune, & happy discoveries may U find in the micro world.🤩🙏💕🎶
which is better steller1 or labomed lx400?
Im still looking but still no luck.
💥Please mix blood with different pesticides and show us what happens! 💥
What are these 2 huge round things inside the tardigrade?
I dont know too but i think you meant tardigrades
@@Mikailz_ Whooops, sorry, inside the one tardigrade. Two rounds thingies
It could the digestive tract or gonads. Animals use too much space of their body cavity for that.
Noice
No microscope noise sorry😢
