I swam in a pond this am. I was amongst the carnage. The horror....the horror.
Some of it is probably still stuck to you. :)
Some cells that live in your body dont actually have an anus, yet they still eat meaning that they eventually fill up with shit and explode. Multiply that by a billion.
@@someonerandom7468 not everything that eats needs to shit. if there is a 100% conversion rate no waste is produced and no waste needs to be released
darkracer125 i am aware that some things dont have to shit lmao but demodex mites really dont have an anus. All the waste builds up in their bodies and after 2 weeks, boom. I really dont understand what your point is but ok
Well we have non-stop carnage going on in our body, with our own cells as part of it. In fact, we are a part of an unbroken chain of self-reproducing war zones where we fight both with and against our distant cousins.
I find it fascinating that so many life forms don't have brains but seem to feel some kind of stress or fear. You see how the 'victims' try to get away and fight against the inevitable.
crazy right? One even sensed danger and fled from the predator
lmfao there organisms are not sophisticated enough to know fear. It's a simple cause and effect command that's built so that when the organism has a certain sensory signal it will flee. The tendency to flee is why you have developed fear, not the other way.
@@shaunnil8248 Isn't our own sense of fear just a more complicated version of that sensory signal that tells an organism to flee? Like obviously it's way more complicated than that, but I think the point of the original comment was to contemplate how it APPEARS as if the organisms are fleeing in fear. Even at such a small scale the struggle for life and death is just as real as it is in the macro
instinct is not the same as emotions.
@@testjeaapiel9707 what's the difference? Where's the hard line we can use to say "this animal is clearly using just instinct and doesn't experience emotion"?
This is like watching a live-action version of Spore's cell stage... I love it.
What beautiful photography.
wow wouldnt have thought meeting you here. i love your animation-music videos.
as someone who is pursuing a degree in microbiology, I can’t begin to say how hyped I am for this new project
That's so exciting. Good luck! I just finished my micro degree a few months ago.
I'm a biochemistry student and so far I've been more interested in bigger organisms, but this channel is making me think maybe I should try out some microbiology. So many cool things even in just this video! Those axopodia, I need to find out more!
Charle Bachmann dude I feel you! I FEEL YOU. Do you own a microscope?
Im in the exact same boat!
Same dude same
9:05 "Neither egg, nor the rotifer, is going to escape this. Surprisingly heartbreaking."
Spoken with the intonation of a true biologist
It made me wonder if the rotifer was simply responding to stimuli, or if there was some "instinct" that encouraged it to try to save future offspring. Are there even genders at this level? Sorry, I'm very new to learning about microorganisms.
@@annaliseoconner9266 probably not I mean it may be asexual
@@annaliseoconner9266
That’s what I was thinking, it looked like a panicked and conscious last ditch effort to save its offspring..?!
They don’t have brains so it was just instinct. Still sad tho
It also may be a bad timing
I just wanted to say after probably logging as many hours with a microscope as a commercial pilot has on their aircraft.. the fact you guys can chase those quick'ems around so accurately not only horizontally but vertically through the sample column is *really* amazing to me.
I love this stuff, but I love that 236,000+ others also love it even more.
I love this comment 😀
As a bio major I actually squealed when I saw this channel I am so excited for this it’s perfect.
You're a major alright... A major NERD xD xD
*Lifts hand to receive high five from fellow bullies*
Same I like microscopic cells they look interesting
@@lilstinker5475 Haha good one
*Accidentally misses your hand and slaps your dumb bully face*
Nerds rise up ✊️
@melonhusk562 No, you do not know what he likes. I am a kid and I like immunelogy.
@@lilstinker5475 You just complimented them
you said they are smart, and loves studying, and so they will have a very bright future
Oh god, finally a decent microscopy channel. I've been waiting 14 years.
"tardigrades" are much more interesting, check em out
Phacias
Oh microbes
Lol
Microbehunter is a good channel
Check out Sci-Inspi

Watching this while high send you in another dimention of thought universe .
What the fuck
Me, blasted at 4am: Why ARE these? Who am I to say that cuz why am I? Life just....is.
Morpheus: What if I told you....
Watching this while not high sends you in another dimension of thought universe.
Str8 fax nigga, my ignorant ass learning rn lmfao
you aren't the only one!
Still amazes me Hank is capable of sounding this calm
Dang didn’t even notice it was him until your comment
I'd love to see a behind the scenes video about the camera used to capture this STUNNING footage!
+
It's a microscope...the camera doesn't have to be anything special, some microscopes even come with the option to send video directly to a pc, without using an additional camera
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 you do realise that it sends those images to the pc by using a CAMERA. (it might be built in but it's still a camera added to a microscope. and thus by the verry deffinition. an "additional camera"
I wonder what his resolution his? You can definitely see the sharp focal depth with there small f-number imaging. But there are all sorts of cool microscopes setups that he could be using, such as phase-contrast imaging to get a better view of the transparent microorganisms.
@@darkracer1252 okay
Literally any microorganism: exists
Rotifer: *chuckles* Im in danger.
So bill, I heard you have quite a browser history on that thing...
Rotifers be like: yeah, i have a huge hole here, i think in myself as a star
Any other microorganism passing next to the camera: SHUT THE FUCKUP ROTH BEFORE I GO THERE AND CHEW YOUR ASS
@@plankdorodo3122 😂😂hahaha I imagined that cliché dialogue inside a highschool wall
Sorry. Wrong.
This channel peaked my interest in Microscopy, and so I purchased Microscope recently. Last night I was viewing an awesome creature called a didinium (I believe), and it was actually attacked by a group of little things that broke the didinium apart... as I watched...pretty wild. I posted a short video I made via phone through eyepiece on my channel. Just as this video shows, life can be hard even in the microscopical world! Keep up the epic work on this channel, and thanks for the inspiration in starting this new hobby!
"There are three ways things can get their food."
I know these!!
1. Online shopping
2. Asking your mate to pick something up for you when you've got the munchies.
3. Having to go yourself.
Hank is totally (even if unintentionally) evoking Carl Sagan's tranquil narration throughout these videos, and I keep waiting for him to evoke him further by calling this "The world of the very small."
I say it's intentional. The word "cosmos" is even in the name of the series.
When you want us to see something do you think you could point it out on the footage? I’m trying to spot the new food vacuole forming at 3:23 but my eyes are bad.
Maybe with an additional zoom in on the part, that way we don't have red circles on top of our gooey friends
or just a pointer like in Deep Look's videos..
nam trịnh that’s what I was thinking. A little non intrusive guide so you can still enjoy the pretty protists.
yes! @journeytothemircrocosmos i too had a hard time looking for the new food vacuole. maybe just a quick pause with an arrow or circle the when you play the video again the circle or arrow can disappear.
I agree, I would really like that for the future!
Like I'm completely sold. The video, your voice, the action, the drama, the car chase. Perfect video.
I'm binge-watching all your videos for the second time. Remarkable work! And Hank, your quiet, gentle narration works beautifully with the images. I've recommended Microcosmos to everyone I've encountered lately. Thank you for continuing to reveal the beauty of science!
Same.
It never gets 'uninteresting'
Vampyrella are boring!
Specifically into cell walls.
Where's my Vampyrella Co. Not-a-Flamethrower!
They really suck
The cytoplasm out of other cells.
I bet you tell that joke at all the microgeek parties.
*vsauce music starts to play*

"Man I wish that I could shrink down and explore the microcosmos like in a safari!"
Sees this vid
"Ok, maybe I should bring a shrinked gun as well"
Also a protective suit plus micro jet engine boots to travel
Well none will work as they will just make it go to you
Ant man
honestly I see this like space but Everything that wants to eat you for dinner
I won't go at all
Absolutely fabulous video to show younger kids how cells look and act. My 4th graders loved it!
this is exactly what i needed i love this stuff but ive been waiting to find a series thats as immersive as this thank you
I got genuinely excited when I saw this video show up.
Me too! I got so excited I stopped what I was doing
No shame in loving awesomeness
🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Want more fascination? Google tardigrades, real animals limbs eyes & a cns & it poops....goget suprised, have fun
Me to, I have some water that I took from a river near my house and it was full of life, but there were only a few rotifers here and there
Me: "Hank's voice is so soothing! The footage is so beautiful! I'm totally subscribing to this--it'll be so fascinating and peaceful."
Episode 1: "ARE YOU READY TO BE HORRIFIED BY MINI MURDER???"
The button says 'Read more' but it just flickers when I click it... nice job trolling
Also, my thoughts exactly. Hank's voice is so calming
@Stellvia Heonheim Yikers, did somebody piss in your coffee?
@Stellvia Heonheim so you're saying that you're his moms bitch?
I was just thinking is that Hank
That was an amazing detailed intro for the microspce. Thanks a lot for such a beautiful video. I have captured a creature as u explained in ur video as Stentors, a single cell organism with filter feeding. i was stunned to see their mechanism to eat. i am trying to find a tardigrades and yes to some extent i was successful but yet learning as time permits. Thank you so much once again for such a beautiful video. Would love to share some videos as I am exploring the exotic and beautiful microscopic world.
Humbling and moving. What a beautiful piece of work. Thank you
I have always found microorganisms to be fundamentally disturbing. Their movement patterns alien, their practices unnerving, their appearances bizarre and in some cases disgusting. These problems are only amplified by the disconcerting sterility associated with their discussion - the pure science of life. I've failed biology classes because of these problems, and to this day have a fundamental block concerning life sciences.
This is the first setting and portrayal I've discovered where I can sit down and watch these creatures with only a minimum amount of revulsion, which is beginning to diminish further. The music and video, Hank's calming tones, and the living observations come together to create a quiet environment that's helping me overcome some of those issues.
Thanks! It's been great so far. Can't wait to expose myself to more.
Microbiology can be gross but it's also fun and wacky, i always liked slimy blobby stuff so it was easier for me
Hope you snap out of that and enjoy microbiology!
But microbiology is all around us, and inside us, and on us, it's like you can't really avoid it though. Do you have a fear of microbiology? Like a clinical diagnosis?
It is only "disgusting" because you have been taught to hate bacteria. Bacteria can be both our friends or enemies but in either case they are alive and doing their thing to keep us alive or themselves.
I'm excited for an episode featuring the Tardigrades in the future.
If I were a tardigrade I'd move out from home
Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne
Pressure couldn't squish ne and fire wouldn't burn
There are the things I never will learn
Tartigrades are actually kinda boring, Tierzoo did a good video on them explaining why their probably the lamest extremophile
Hexed Decimals A SHRUBBERY!
Don't listen to Fuzzy Thoughts~they are wonderful, fascinating little critters. None of these little creatures are "lame". What an insult to the micro world that is!
(j/k sort of. I'm very protective of my "water bears")
@@rhijulbec1 Jus saying, they have awesome traits but they literally don't use them for anything, they 'can' do a lot of things, but they usually don't.
I've seen this some years ago and now I am pursuing a degree in science (and math) and I just came back to this while learning about micro organisms. Wildly insane and beautiful. Good to have such a visual example. Please keep doing this work!
WOW! I just discovered this channel and I had no idea all this happens! I also can only imagine it takes hours of observation to see just minutes of what's in the video! Thank you! I feel like I'm learning so much!
i am LOVING this channel, i even made popcorn to watch this with
Wanna watch it together?
Want some 🍪?
I CANNOT be the only one here reminded strongly of SPORE from this? Right? Anyone else?
yes! man they should really make a rework of the cell stages into a mobile game that looks like these microscopic views
@@totalunconcern That would be epic.
Yeah. I'm just waiting for Jaa'm to show up.
door de fucking war
I doubt a mobile game would be able to do such a thing.
Console or pc though, perhaps.
I played the cell stage of that game like billion times when I was a teenager! It hugely inspired me to be curious about the microscopic life! 😊
Some of the best microphotography I've ever seen. Thank you for producing and sharing this vid.
This channel has been my fav find in the last year. So fascinating!
this has got to be some of if not the best footage of microorganisms ive ever seen. this is beyond beautiful
I just bought my first "adult" microscope a couple months ago after stumbling upon Jam's videos. I absolutely love that this channel is now a thing!
Can you tell me which one? I'd like to get something nice for my students.
check jeulin.com
I imagine there might be a spin-off series in the future about growing, sorting, filming and other microscopy techiques. From what I'm seeing, there's room for this stuff to be promoted by pet shops. Instead of a fish tank people would have their pets projected live on their 4K televisions.
@@eltimbalino That's actually a pretty cool idea! You could probably even develop a software that displays them as a screensaver on computers, laptops, phones, and other devices.
@@EyeLean5280 You may wish to consider a digital scope. It's easier to share the image to the class, and no pink eye.
Inexpensive USB scopes are not bad for low magnification, and provide an intermediate step for introduction to high magnification systems. Good luck, I remember the excitement of exploring the microscopic for the first time. I was lucky, most students weren't given the opportunity.
Its just so amazing! Coming from nothing even to evolve into one of these seems like such a huge leap, these things are already so sophisticated
These videos are absolutely amazing. Thank you.
I'm struggling to wrap my head around the fact there are microscopic single cell organisms that hunt other celluar organisms. Life is constantly consuming other life right down to the cell. Man...
It's the only way life can happen.
i hope ur ok
Thats how we started out. As life got more complicated some things stayed the same
@@coocoo3336 yea, you're right.
Life its f*cked up!
Oh, man. What did they tranquilize Hank Green with? He sounds so mellow.
sent4dc reminds me of that tape that supposedly has Michel Jackson talking on the phone while under the influence of propofol.
Its the music. Its so... soft
ketamine. lots and lots of ketamine.
Haha
I can't believe this. Whenever I stumble upon a science channel, Hank Green is always in it. This man is amazing.
this channel absolutely blew my mind today. Thank you for creating such a great content.
Oh.. yes. More Hank ASMR with cool shit on screen. 🖤
Primordial Eudaimonic pretty much...
I kinda love it.
Does Hank have any audiobooks he has narrated? I _need_ his voice to fall asleep! That first microcosmos put me out in under 3 mins.
Thanks for ruining it.
This feels like the Anthroprocine Reviewed, but with Hank and beautiful visuals.
Amazing channel and one of the best narration styles I've ever heard. Immediate fan.
This is awesome! I can watch this all day!
I'd love to see how this process scales up, eg. during algal blooms in the oceans.
Our food can come to us too, it's called pizza delivery.
You can also eat the delivery boy, if you're quick enough.
ah, the circle of life!
@@LimeyLassen AHH THE VORE OH YES
@@LimeyLassen but wat about the genitals I dont wanna be a dick eater do I?
It's hard to argue with his assessment.
I told my dad about this channel and he didn't really understand but he's excited! Like me!
Great narration, music, and composition. Equally informative and entertaining. Love it. Subscribed. Congrats on the new channel!
I knew I recognized Hank's voice--but such a more soothing pace than the Crash Course Biology videos! Fantastic footage, thank you!
the quality of the microscopy footage is insane! every single shot looks better than anything I've personally seen when I was a biology student.
This new channel is truly a blessing! I've always been so interested in this topic. Since I was 6 I always used to go collect water from the pond by my house growing up to look at under my brothers microscope.
The best youtube channel about microbial life!
Wow, Hank. Thank you and the team for these wonderful videos. I only recently found em, sadly, from the announcement that there will no longer be any more, but I'm sure that I'm in for one helluva ride!
Hank, everything about this new channel is perfect. The photography, the music, your voice. I just love it.
Love it. Hank, please don't stop narrating these.
Fantastic and really interresting video.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it.
This was beautiful, truly incredible to watch! 👏👏
Love the calm energy and great visuals of these. Ive been looking for something like this on yt for a long time. Looking forward to more.
This is so incredible. Thanks for bring us another masterpiece, Hank and James!
i was working in aquaculture and i really love it when it suddenly show up on my recommendation. kinda throwing the memories back..
This was amazing, can't wait to see more content. Also, please keep hank on as the voice, he seems as awestruck as the viewer.
1:20 I can't believe that I'm watching a living microscopic jelly bean search for food
Daisy, then search tardigrades & see micro bears with complete cns & it poops
Hey I have a question. Are the bacteria in the video their true colors? Or is there some kind of dye introduced so we can see them?
These are their true colours as you can see through most parts of the cells. Most staining techniques kill the cells btw.
The creatures you’re seeing are their natural colors, but most of them are not bacteria. Bacteria are so small that they appear as tiny specks even at this high magnification.
Awesome thank you so much! Also yea sorry force of habit, microorganisms
Electron microscopy is usually used to image bacteria as they are incredibly tiny.
There is no dye introduced.
The cells are illuminated by a light on the bottom of the microscope
There are no bacteria here
The most incredibly sensational channel on this social midia platform. Thanks guys.
Many thanks for such beautiful work🙏🏾🇮🇳
James you're videography is beautiful and Hank your narration is stellar.
Thanks a lot!
This is the abslute best footage of the microscopic world I have ever seen.
Instantly hooked
So soothing. Maybe put it in a playlist on Spotify, to help me sleep.
*This channel is god given, literally.*
What a delightful find. Thank you. Looking forward to enjoying more of this micro amazingness.
I've been a fan of Jam's videos for a while and I'm so glad that you decided to collaborate with him! It's nice to have the narration to go with the beautiful images. I wish that someone would translate these in French so that I could share them with my microbiology students...
this is an old comment, but what is the name of the channel?
10:16 looks like a garden gnome with no arms
this channel constantly blows by mind. love it!
Aaaahhh I can't wait for more episodes!!! This is so awesome already!!
This is already one of my favorite things! Keep up this amazing series!
I had seen all these videos on jams germs , but you deserve a big thanks for your great commentary..this will develop interest of microscopy amoung nonsense (non_science) ppl toooo,,
It's very strange to think we all started in this stage and we now watch the beginning of future creatures. It's just so cool. Someday (who knows if we will be here) we could have future generations seeing what these little micro creatures evolve into. It's so crazy to think of the possibilities and to imagine this stuff.
did you really believe that lol. its absurd to think like that after seeing such a perfect and complex beings.
This is impressive. This channel should have milions of subscribers by now. Great work
Amazing work, thank you for doing these, and making them available on TH-cam? Incredible.
The footage you've got here (and your other videos) is hands down the best I've ever seen of the microbial world. And your knowledge and research is just.. wow.
Incredible content, thanks again, so much.
But have you seen the bears yet?
Micro real bears that poo
Type it in, tardigrades
This channel is surprisingly relaxing and disturbing in equal measure. It's addictive. Good work, keep on it :)
I've been looking for months for something like this. It's brilliant
Really excited for this channels launch!
As a Microbiologist I am thrilled by this new project and have to say that the microscopy is simply stunning. Bravo!
i really like the calm music (and the video of course) it helps me to stay more focused
This is becoming one of my favorite channels. Very interesting
Loving the pacing and tone of this new series! That music + narration lyfe
Awfully relaxing and hypnotic, thank you for brining something so wonderful to the internet!
Y'all have peaked my interest in the microcosmos, BRAVO!
What makes this truly fascinating is imagining the molecular biology that is going on during each of these contacts. It is truly fascinating. Most of my life I've been fascinated by physics, but that's now changing into molecular biology because it's just so fascinating finding out how it all evolved.
A chill Hank! that's new! The music, footige and the voice over make it almost otherworldly and then you realize that these things are hapaning in the pond near your house!
Reminds me of looking at the space map on Mass Effect haha
This is absolutely beautiful.
The only thing I wish you'd do is using some form of highlighting to direct attention to the specific thing you're talking about. Occasionally I find myself not knowing where to look.
It's gorgeous and super interesting all around though
Definitely going to be discussing the best way to handle this! Thank you!
Wow!! Mesmerizing footage!! 👏🏻
Wow great work making this kind of videos. Really appreciate. 👍
Love the colors and shapes you've captured. I would totally buy prints of this stuff.
I knew micro organisms existed but I never cared for them, I'm more into marine biology but your videos have opened a door to a whole new world
One of the best videos on the internet.
I just discovered this channel and subscribed...fantastc work and presentation. Thank you..!
