When I was a child, Pokemon was a BIG thing and now I am almost 30 years old and feeling like a Pokemon trainer; I gotta catch them all and add to our collection! 😂
Microscopes have always fascinated me. It wasn't persay the item under magnification, but the magnification itself. This is great stuff, thanks.
I really hope you have business cards with "Master of Microscopes" as your job title.
You need to make a germdex!
It's Solosis' evolutionary line all over the place!
Who's that Euglenoid?!
Kinda wish the ad said, "single-celled singles in your area", with a pic of a stentor taking a mirror selfie or some such. :)
Hmmm... why those ads are displayed to you?
They need to hire you as a script writer then
But when you go to meet it, it turns out to be a paramecium
*James will never find me. Never!*
Gotcha buddy!

Oof
4:40 There you are!

I've always been fascinated by science, but I was a liberal arts student in college. In high school, our biology class didn't encompass this stuff. Thankfully, I had an earth science subject for two semesters in college which introduced me to the microcosmos. Those were one of the very best times of my college life. The volvox was my most favourite thing to hunt under the microscope. Anyway, thank you for this fascinating video sharing tips on how to determine microbes.
I've always been gay. But I like science too! 👍
This really has grown to be one of my most favourite channels. It's so calming and soothing, from the narration to the music and even the very video of microbes mulling about. I always look forward to watching more.
And It's really beautiful...like jewels, often. GREAT WORK.
I saw the smaller tardigrade and said, "oh look at the little tardigrade!" Then remembered both tardigrades were magnified 200x.
I saw one with my naked eye once. I had it under the microscope and looked down and my brain saw the same scene I'd been looking at. They're small sure but I saw the body and eyes and details with my naked eye. If you have a microscope, try it out...
@@bubblezovlove7213 Do they look different from the naked eye? What color are they?
The next scene had a tardigrade at 600x, right?
This has become my favourite channel on TH-cam. Thanks, James, Hank, and everyone else who toils away to bring us such amazing images from our unseen reality. You get nowhere near the recognition you deserve. This is what should be on TV, instead of ‘reality television’ trash and Faux News. If it was, I’d actually start watching TV again.
Me too...I LOOOOOVE so much!!!
*No don't! You're exposing all my hiding spots!*
Dont hide, it is ok, you are so cute little rodifer , even when you are naked.
You don't have to hide, everyone loves you!
@@alphaamoeba Everyone loves to eat them to.
@@JcoleMc good point
Sry i turned a 69 to a 70
As a student of science and a hobbyist of microscopes I have the utmost respect for James to dedicate this amount of work. Thank you Microcosmos for keeping my interest alive.
Immeasurable thanks to James, Hank and all of the Patrions. You make this all possible and this struggling parent REALLY appreciates your generous gift to the whole world. You should be very proud.
I'm in love with your channel, guys. Thanks so much for all the work you do!
I watch your videos when I’m having a panic attack, or after. It always helps me to calm down and I can learn something new. Thank you
I love this channel so much. And with so many species, known and unknown, you have an endless supply of video topics. So keep making them till we're all old and grey!
A labor of love ...and so much skill,experience and passion...
My siblings and I pitched on a microscope for my mother for xmas, partly inspired by this series. However, it was also partly inspired by a geology course I took once where we identified minerals in thin sections with polarized light. Was just wondering if you'd ever consider doing a mini mini series on them or even a video? Super interesting and beautiful stuff.
aw!!! instant subscribe! i love the way you expressed it being an art and labor of love to study this field. xoxo 💓
Dear James Weiss,
Thank you, for all the footage of these magnificent critters. Your labor of love has always been the bright point of my Tuesday. Cheers, mate.
I have looked everywhere for a video, books or images that will tell me what micro organisms I'm looking at under my microscopes. This is the best one yet!
Many thanks to James for sharing his ongoing interest in the many beings and events of the Microcosmos. It’s a beautiful series that is undoubtedly made with great love and expertise.
Thanks James and everyone else involved in this channel
What's it like to record the voice overs.
I'm imagining you sitting over your microphone, looking at a picture of your grandma and trying to explain it to her.
I love it. It's so peaceful and nice ^^
Thanks to this channel I've learned more about the microcosmos than I ever did in school. You provide a calming, informative, and beautiful spectical to behold and learn.
Don't ever stop investigating, teaching, and inspiring.
Ditto
Cheers to identifying biology! Its part of the reason I love botany and Mycology, finding the name is like solving a mystery.
Awesome video. Love your channel. I learn so much.
I actually loved it. I hope there's more :)
You are are incredible. Love this channel. Hands down my favorite.
I love your voice with the nice images Hank :)
I love this channel so much.
Beautiful as always......thank you so much.
Thank you for taking me along with you into the lab for training. Respect
This is as good as David Attenborough on BBC! 😙🥰 Science to its most wonderful effect! Thank you! ❤️
Since young I've enjoyed our little friends, but ever since I've entered college I've been having some problems with microbiology. However, these videos are a great help! And they're interesting aswell. Keep up the great work! :)
Awesome to hear mention of genetic sequencing to identify bacteria. I'm part of a project that focuses on some of this work. :)
Thank you for all you do
That crinkly rotifer at 4:41 is stunningly captured. It seems to have depth while still being in focus, so that you can see the folds of its kind of brittle seeming skin.
Hank, just wanted to thank you for ASMR educational content. You said in another video, you don't really get ASMR, but given this series, yes, keep up the good work. I hope for many more sleep filled nights with this playing on my computer.
Those jelly like bacterial flocs are interesting. They have different colours, shapes, size etc. How about a video on those?
I bought a beginner microscope because I love to watch your videos.
Love your channel... But i gotta say if I can't sleep I put a playlist of your videos on.
Amusingly, the very first microbe you showed was one that I unexpectedly stumbled upon in botany class. It was not meant to be in the sample, and my professor could not identify it beyond positing that it was an animal. Now I have a slightly more specific name. So thanks for your help with a years old mystery.
I guess this channel pans heavily to Targigrade's fanbase... I like it. ❤
LOL
Good work guys I really enjoyed it can u please tell me what kind of microscope do u use ?
So peaceful and beautiful! 💞😍
Thanks for providing this interesting science and these glimpses of a world most of us are totally unaware of
I grew up staring in wonder through a microscope at things I found in pond water....
Thank you.
Love this channel thank u♥️
I really appreciate the scale in the lower right hand corner.
Any chances of a video on microscope setup slide preparation etc?
I love your videos I have seen every single one of them. I've never been so amazed by micro organisms. Hank I love your narrations.
James is the man. Thanx James.
You guys are a blessing in this rushed world
how do you get the blue/black backgrounds when using a microscope?? it looks really cool
Is inspired me to take bioligy as a dream and I was truly facinated when i saw the first video of blepharisma and the Legendrea microbe it helped me to do my reasearch! Thaank you!
The thumbnail looked like an irregularly shaped piece of pizza crust with a really good char on it and now I'm just hungry. Thanks, "Journey to....". Thanks a whole bunch!
It's crazy how fast this channel is growing.
Your voice makes me fall asleep before the video is even over.
I know how to identify the bacteria approximately.
The bacterium has two names. One points to its shape and the other to its name. such as Bacillus Megaterium. Unfortunately, its name cannot be as easily established, but its shape is already a different pastry. Bacteria have basic forms. For example, Bacillus is the stick shape, Coco is the round shape, and Spirillum is the twisted shape. There's more to it, but these are the ones that make its name roughly. Hope I could help a little. Have a nice day.
Thanks!
Have you ever thought about uploading stills of your microscope captures without the measurement and name of the species somewhere for downloading as wallpapers?
Loveit! Is all this 3D action taking place on a slide and under a glass slide cover? (the tardigrade footage...?) How thick is a film of sample water under a glass slide cover?
What about using image recognition software in order to identify microbes?
Time for the Monday Microbes! Woot-woot!
Or Tuesday for some... 😊
Oh, hey, cool profile pic.
@@nolanwestrich2602 thanks!
Hey guys!
I am a student and just before my A-Levels. I ´m really getting intersted in the Microcosmos
and thus wanting to buy a Microscope. Now, I´ve seen your Video on your mic. but it´s just out of my price range(400-600 €/£/ $). I also really like the dark-field microscopy so having an option to "upgrade" the microscope is relatively important too. I would really love some feedback on wich mic. I should look at.
Many thanks in advance :).
Can you do video about your microscope set up
This might sound dumb, but if you ever encounter that kind of situation where it could take you a year of time to know what you are looking at, have you ever tried crowdsourcing? There's a lot of really passionate fans and biologists on various social media sites who would gladly help you identifying any material/picture/video you upload there, just for the sake of adventure.
It's really awesome to see or participate on such a quest, truly a wonder.
Ah yes, let me just click on this ad that says "SINGLE CELLED ORGANISMS IN YOUR AREA" on my ipad.
I don't think I'll be getting a microscope in the foreseeable future, but this channel's videos are always interesting
Those stentors are FAST! I love watching them contract in the blink of an eye. I wonder how they do that
proteins & whatnot, probably. Maybe an actin-myosin bridge. I dunno ask google
Thank you very much. beautiful
heyr very nice channel and content thank youu
Wunderbar ! ;-)
0:00 literally THAT was what I was trying to identify... thanks LOL
You make my day everytime you upload a video. Thank you. I wish I had gotten to enjoy this when I was in school. ♡
Atleast you'll never run out of content
A microbe version of 'Guess Who' would fit right in at my local Educational Toy store.. everything in there is science based. My littlest one loves that place.
Mind blown once again.
Wow the numbers are amazing
I love that James does this so we don't have to.
At 5:05-5:07 along with the picture of the gastrotrich there are in the lower half of FOV some rod looking guys gathered in a colony that look loosely glued together with some sort of mucilage. They appear to vibrate and move away from the colony only to return. What are they? Bacteria? If so what general kind? Thank you for your help.
*Microcosmos rocks!*
Will you do an episode on bacteria?
This should be shown in schools
Oh trust me..it is- 🙂👏
I found a euglena looking organism in my pond sample, pulling itself along by a long, whip-like structure. Though I couldn't find an eye spot
What microscope do you use?
I dont remember what it was called, but I know that they have a video about what microscope they use
sending samples to a university lab for genetic analysis might be more feasible than you think. the technology is much more accessible than it used to be, and you might be able to find undergraduate classes who would want to use it as a project so they can learn the technology.
While my FB friends share baby Platypus's that are actually stone carvings, i'm on the net looking for stuff like this. Thanks for using the net Hank, thanks for being here and giving us these kinds of things.
This channel made me buy a nice microscope. Thank you :-)
But... your narration is a huge part of the draw of this channel! Additional narration would be another prized Patron benefit!
Given their short generation times and massive numbers it is amazing there really are such things as identifiable species in micro organisims Some people say there aren't real species, or rather that the concept does not really apply to bacteria. I am pretty confident that every permanent water body has a few unique protozoa species.
I like this.
It would be nice if you published the names of the music by Andrew Huang: Andrew has made a lot of music, and it is difficult to sift through his production without a name. What's the name for this one?
I keep wondering what would happen if you drink that sample. Some of them looks too dangerious with all spikes and tentacles, especially ones that small as foot of a tardigrade which looks like a coil spring and move like a ticking clock each time with 45 degree angle steps.
Telling the difference between cells and little organelles seems like the most maddening kind of hassle.
Whats the lil stringy things that show up at around 4:00? Are the organisms or just fluid?
This channel makes me want to upend my life and spend the rest of it looking through a microscope... mind you PBS SpaceTime makes me want to do the same for a telescope
You should probably add your patreon link to the description, in case we cant click on the annotation.
Can we look at some microbes that are unique to certain biomes? Say around hydrothermal vents, or things which live only in brackish waters... idk im not a microbiologist, its just a thought.
Thank you bae 😍
Are baby tardigrades waving legs for the first time catalase+
and what's do champagne bubbles look like in that scope?
What kind of a microscope do you guys use in this?
