So glad we made this episode! It was so calming and beautiful!
We're even more glad you made it!
You're our window into this world.
Thank you. :3
Jam's Germs Really cool video!! You guys have inspired me so much over the past few months, to invest in my first microscope, and to start recording my own videos of the microcosmos! It would mean a lot if you could check out some of my videos to help identify some of the things I found, (I’m trying to learn as much as I can myself but this community knows more than me)!
Love your footage, always so great. Thanks for sharing.
Did the water sample with the vorticella come from just a regular pond or something? In other words, how common are they? Can they be found all over?
@@djinnisequoia "Habitats may include moist soil, mud and plant roots. This protozoan is ciliated and is mainly found in fresh water environments. They are known to feed on bacteria and can also form extracellular associations with mosquitoes, nematodes, prawns and tadpoles. Vorticella has been found as an epibiont (attached to the surface of a living substratum when in its sessile stage) of crustaceans, the basibiont."
- Vorticella Wikipedia page. Your question sent me on a dive through international papers, and yep, you can find their 100+ species in bodies of water all over the world.
*I've gone out with a Vorticella once, many cell cycles ago. Very shy bunch they are, but also quite the tease. They jerk back at the last second when you go in for a peck on the cellular membrane*
*What micro-erotica really is like*
I...don't need that particular image in my head.
LMAO
@@PaiSAMSEN I think you do. XD
I noticed that Fred is a little shy but Larry is overextending himself.
I kinda want to hear zefrank narrate one of these. "Marvin doesn't give a crap who's trying to get in line at the Krispy Kreme. Marvin just wants some algae."
@@moosemaimer A crossover that needs to happen.
@zefrank1
1:23 blue??? BLUE!!???
Hank that's the greenest green I've EVER seen.
Tobías Chaparro same, but I can see how sometimes the light hits it just right where it looks blueish green, still mostly green though.
That's the new blue, mate. A greenish one
I'm seeing blue there, but it might be male typical colourblindness
I'm guessing the yellow toned background is making it look green
he's blue green colorblind.
You should contact "life in jars" channel... he could use your help identifying some of his critters, and his sealed biomes are pretty cool...
I've wanted to see a LIJ/JttMc crossover since I found JttMc a couple days ago. I'm fairly sure they'd hit it off.
Hi Hank and team, I have a few questions:
1. Under the microscope, how much of the z-axis do we see (besides the x-y plane)? What's the DOF that we are dealing with?
2. How thick is the typical z-axis when samples are prepared?
3. So far all the movement we see is left-right up-down, all we learn in school and see everywhere is that the "microcosmos" world is "flat"; how different do the organisms react/move when it's in the "real" world (where z-axis is "infinite") vs on the limited depth of the samples that we are viewing?
4. Do micro organism even care about 3D space, or everything to them is 2D-ish.
5. Any technology available to have a more 3D representation of the microcosmos?
Yay!! Microcosmos inspired me to get a microscope and look at the stream water behind my house. These are my favorite of all the critters I've found.
Hey, I noticed that when they are touched by their own kind they don't generally recoil? but when they are touched by a different "thing" they always recoil? do you think it's possible they might have some sort of surface protein that when recognised stops the recoiling process?
I think it may be like us and clothes
When we put on our clothes we can only feel them on our skin for just a few secconds before we get used to it
I think these vorticella might have gotten used to eachother the same way
They could be able to smell eachother
@@MagicToadSlime Doesn't human smell work by our recognizing surface proteins which land in our nose?
@@riveradam real smarty pants here boys
they are pretty slow maybe there is a pressure threshold that makes each other tolerable.
others had great suggestions, just imagine all there is to learn!
"MICRO cosmos" reminded me of my son's Mic-Scope that gathers dust in a lonely corner. De-dusting. Installing. Not expecting much (Remember that onion epithel in school? ).But once I focused on little drop from the vase in the kitchen- a world exploded under my astonished eye. Now I'm hooked! Microcosmonauts, thanks?
Life is amazing!
I started an Ecosphere with water and plants from the pond in my back yard, and today I noticed some Stentors!! Bright green and triangular shaped, they are floating around near the surface of the water :)
Dudes.. 6 millimeters apart.. come on.
6 millimeters is like 30 miles.

I think that two of them sneezed on the others at least 3 times during the video! They need to be quarantined for 20 days now...🙃☮️

...help...
Vorticella are my favorite micro-organisms :D
They're the first ones I found myselve which make a swirl in the water and I really like the little "tail" that can retrackt
I have been using these videos to supplement my Biology of Protists course at a time when students themselves can not be in the lab using microscopes. This one, with its 12 minutes of one view was especially appealing. I and my COVID-19 sequestered students thank you.
Sometimes I feel like I should spend the whole game in the cell stage. It sounds much more peaceful and nice than having to deal with Spice trade prices and ecological collapses...
I'd like a whole game designed just for evolving micro-life.
What was so wonderful about getting a chance to observe for such a long time was that I felt like my brain really got a chance to orient to what I was looking at, particularly to the depth of field. While the video seems only 2-dimensional at first, the longer I watch, the more it seems to have real depth and the creatures I watching have shape and 3D form. It's really amazing. Thank you!
Unreal that they were able to find such a tiny fossil... and they still look exactly the same!
@@the_hanged_clown what?
@@edgywafflegamingproduction1374 you heard me

Life is amazing!
I am mesmerised with this whole Channel and every video on it
I could watch this all day. Also, how cool would it be if there was a live stream somewhere of this sort of content, that get's called when your machine starts to pull up a screensaver. It would always be different and you might see something that few souls would get a glimpse of by simply having your screensaver on. :D
Wasn't that the whole concept behind Electric Sheep?
It was obvious once I learned it, but they're called Vorticella because the currents they create cause little vorticies (vortexes?) to form in front of them, into which all that little stuff gets drawn.
I bet you didn't even ask it if its a whale! Don't listen to that booming voice in the sky!You be all the whale you can be little buddy!
This is a pretty fantastic series. I have always loved this sort of video. Thankyou.
Can a nauplius do the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs?
No, but it can do the biofilm run in less than 12 mm!
I don't know if it's logistically possible, (I'm no expert at all in microscopy) but you guys could set up live stream of this stuff and I would watch for hours. It's so cool.
Lessons learned from vorticella: live in constant terror, but recover and move on quickly
The myoneme contractions may also help vorticella to eat. Under tension, the bell gets narrower, making its volume smaller. Once the bell stops moving, the volume increases, encouraging nutrients to enter its mouth. The movement of entrained water toward the vorticella as a result of the contraction may also assist with nutrient uptake.
Huge kudos to James, this footage is incredibly crispy and clear, it's really beautiful!
Wow, Cyclops look so much like Triops! I wonder how related they are :)
All your videos are great, but I really enjoyed focusing in on just one, and its neighbors. Now I'll remember vorticella forever!
Perfect, zen-like video for a day like today. Happy 4/20/2020, everyone!
Happy 42!
"...But you know who doesn't care about that distinction? ...This cyclops. Who is back. For round two." I died XDDD
zolacnomiko best line from this episode
3:45 music so beautifully wow
1:20 Does this appear green to you, and not blue?
Tragoudistros.MPH it looks green to me
It's so green it might even be related to Hank!
probably because it's over yellow and yellow plus blue equals green
It looked blue to me. It probably depends on your screen
It might be male typical colourblindness because I see blue as well
It's so fascinating to just sit there and watch them - and the music really adds SO much to it too! Zen. So Zen.
Its fascinating how when looking at specific parts of single cell organisms, you're actually seeing molecules do their thing
Why hasn’t this been put live? Missed opportunity. I could literally sit here for hours and watched this. during this time of chaos this would be awesome. Think about it.🤔👍🏽🔬🦠 Science💪🏽
They could just leave one of various microscope feeds up for a few hours at a time (I think they dry out eventually), and they could just have a loop of the soundtrack or maybe Hank could stop by and point out what some stuff is from time to time idk. Hank's chill narration is a big part of this channel's vibe for me but for a continuous live stream it wouldn't be replacing the content and so would be good either way.
If this has been put live we probably wouldn't get to hear Hank's amazing narration as it takes time to highlight the moments and write the script.
Because it was 200x speed.
@@elpred0 You're probably joking, but if not, it was 200x magnification, not speed.
Joder Felipe xD
This reminds me of how, any time I park my car further out in the lot to avoid getting dinged, whenever I come out of the store I find a bunch of people parked next to me. All single-celled organisms are alike.
Love everything possible about this channel, your voice, the occasional pun, clever turns of phrase, the fantastic critters, but whoever it was who had the forethought to collect the Andrew Huang specimen for your music is a genius.... maybe it's because I'm a musician.
Brilliant as usual - and such a variety of microbes on this video. Is there anyway you can get copies of these to project on a wall or ceiling as I would love to be able to watch these at night on the bedroom ceiling !
Thank you for the channel and all magic videos!
I didn’t know it when I clicked on the video but this is exactly what I needed this morning! Watching these little friends was so calming!
Love watching these videos, I like to watch them before I go to sleep to relax and then I have so many cool facts to share in the morning as well!
Funny to think all of this happens between two panes of glass with a film of water trapped between them.
Is it always that crowded in an average pond, or has the microbe density been increased? I remember seeing James with a filtering device he used for that purpose. If so, I don't think we should be discussing 'human sense of etiquette' here lol
It gets that crowded over time, because James is keeping the conditions right for the microbes to grow and reproduce. Conditions can get much more crowded in the green layer floating on top of the pond, or any biofilm.
BTW, LOVE your series!! Thank you for the work you do!
please dont ever stop making these videos I LOVE THEM!!!
6:10 - 7:03 peace in your ears, so beautiful I cry. Where can I aquire a copy of these heavenly samples, please?
Would love to see Vorticela contracting under high speed camera to watch the contraction. Does it happen from the body down to the anchorpoint, or the other way around? What mechanisms communicates contact and conveys the signal for the contraction?
Maybe changing the playback speed in your TH-cam settings would be enough to get the effect you're looking for
"It looks like the combination of a spider and the millenium falcon" what an amazing description love it!
I always enjoy the micro cosmos narrative, please don't stop.
awesome! love this concept for your videos, do more like this please!
6:13
Tiny clover thingy in the upper left of the screen bringing a small bit of luck.
Very beautiful, nice catch!
Got my cup of coffee and starting my day by looking at these teeny tiny party people all the while exhibiting the calm chaos. So relaxing.
These are my favourite kinds of episodes.
This felt like 2 minutes and I could watch 12 hours.
You could have made this one much longer, just given us time to take it in at a much slower pace! Hank, you have such an amazing voice - you don't have to talk so fast or so often 🥰 it's always a treat when you upload - for my part you could just loop the the music and perhaps read excerpts of a nice long article with the footage rolling!
Thank you so much - I really loved this! 😚❤️
god bless the only playlist that truly soothes my trauma dog (and her trauma person).
3:50 amazing soundtrack
Okay so I've got a fantasy series I've been working on and Magic Is Part Of The Food Chain. Multiplying that up into multicellular beings like you or I is obvi spectacular, but zooming into the microcosmose gives me some ideas for some terrifying monsters that could come from these lil guys being Not So Little And Fully Able To Manipulate Water Currents
I ate an entire loaf of bread while watching this. Thank you.
I Watched this on my work break. Totally worth it
What is that?
*points at screen...
What is THAT? *points again fruitlessly
*sigh, and what's that?
Tiny treats for my day.

Please do long videos like this more. Really fun to watch
I just saw these the other day in my microscope, thanks for letting know what I was looking at!
better the last one. In my opinion, seeing the video is the main attraction, the voice is just the partner ( and btw, I love how he is using his voice for the channel )
Such a great, soothing channel.
This was so chill, I loved it. Also screw that cyclops, seriously guy.
Today is the first day that I have been turned on to this channel and I must say, I find it quite entertaining and informative. Were you going for a narration style of Carl Sagan with a touch of Bob Ross or is that something I just extrapolated? 😂
1:28 I see this a solid green. Who sees blue like Hank? These perception of color differences fascinate me!
I saw green aswell
Also when I listen to Hank in a soft and slow tone I feel like he's recording this while smoking a pipe and wearing a velvet suit.
That was very comforting until the end when the music sped up and gave me anxiety. I was waiting for something to explode honestly.

"Nobody is blocking my path! Get out of my way, Nobody!"
So the vorticella are little one-celled organisms - they are made up of cell-stuff, but it's just the one cell, right? So... a little piece of the cell wall just sticks out that they can anchor with, and somehow this piece of cell - made up of just cell wall, not of any other smaller parts - is able to trigger and yank them back? Microorganisms are fascinating, but I don't quite understand how the single-celled ones work, because they are all just one thing, not made up of smaller pieces that link together and build each piece of the thing.
I'm glad I'm subscribed to this channel. The critters we look at are amazing, even if I don't fully get how they work! They're very beautiful.
Single cells are absolutely not "just one thing" or "not made up of smaller pieces". They are the smallest unit of what we consider "alive" but that doesn't mean they're just a single blob of cell-ness. They're made up of smaller structures which are made up out of molecules which are made up out of atoms, etc.
Every single cell is incredibly complex. It has its nucleus, the ribosomes and all of the proteins involved in handling DNA and RNA, the rough ER, the smooth ER, all of the vesicles constantly carrying stuff around pulled by tiny molecules quite literally walking across the cytoskeleton which itself constantly shifts, the millions of sensor, channel, communication, carrier, etc. proteins swimming around in the membrane and it just goes on. Inside every single one of your cells, inside the mitochondria there are thousands of tiny mechanical turbines smashing certain molecules together to create the energy they need to continue existing and doing all their tasks for your body.
Anyone, do you know database with examples where I can find out who exactly m I observing when I do my long "walks" in the micro-world? Yesterday I met 2 nematodes. Foto- sensitive cells, ganglion, digestive system etc. But the most amazing was how they feed! The head splitts in three jaw mouth. Huge one. But for to butchering. It waves in water filtering small particles. an extraterrestrial is more boring than that! After 3 hrs comparing fotos i didn't manage to see what exactly type nematodes are those. By the way one of them died, as water around it evaporated from the light (or the room temperature). I was sad for this almost invisible thing:-(
Watching and listening to this is so therapeutic
I love these videos, so relaxing.
Guess who's back? It's ya boi, Cyclops here!
3:44 - 4:33 music...wow...this is real music
When you showed that fossil all I could see was face that was smiling but a little bit worried a little like 😐
3:13 song or soundtrack please? I fell in love with those sounds..
Ahhhh so fascinating and calming.
I would love to see, the kind of equipment you use to see and film these critters. When I spot something interesting in my microscope, I record it on my cell phone camera. I'm guessing you have better ways of filming than that.
This is so beautiful and relaxing, thank you.
This was absolutely delightful, thank you
Kept thinking about the scale and how fine a modern consumer resin printer can print layers now. For example the default layer height on the elegoo mars is 50µm, a little larger than one of the vorticella. You can still see layers if you look really closely, so theoretically you could see some vorticella as little specks on a slide?
Who needs ASMR when you got this? This was also educational :)
How do they know not to recoil from each other, I wonder
they ARE recoiling from each other....?
They seem to be connected to each other in some way.
Gentler touches
"Today we will show you twelve unedited minutes of footage of these Vorticella" Oh dear lord what am I doing with my life - Flees in abject terror. -
Where does this sample come from? Maybe it was said in the video but I missed it.
This is a good week for this video.
Vorticella are out there breaking social distancing smh my head
Yo these look crunchy
I was wondering where these specimens were harvested from? Fresh water pond, yes?
Please do a video about Leuwwenhoek!
So beautifull!
I can't help myself but wonder how do you even find a fossil of a Vorticella? Like what is the actual process of micropaleontology...?
that fossilized cilliate thing deadass looks like a weird painting of E.T.
