    Additionally, the plastic container we keep our prepared slides inside in order to prevent them from getting dried up is full of Arthrobotrys now! Apparently some spores ended up on the wet cotton and started to grow and infest our other slides! It's like a horror movie but this time I actually enjoy watching it. 👻

    I've always been curious what imagery one could produce with a light field microscope. Those Lytro cameras could choose a depth of field after the fact. Which makes me wonder if one could produce an image showing a microbiome slide in complete focus, rather than rely on what the operator chooses as a focal point.

    • @theodorostsilikis4025
      @theodorostsilikis4025 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      it would require multiple frames of different depth focus to compose one.this has to happen very fast to cancel any movement of the sample and those microbes move really fast.But in theory it would be amazing to accomplish it because the composed frame has depth information and could be stored as a 3d one.
