@@thenaturekid3739 I mean you have 10 videos, all less than 10 mins with your last video being from 9 months ago and he has hundreds of videos and has been doing this for years as well that some of even his older videos exceed 20 minutes in length.
I was always interested in amoeba... I taught that they live in lakes, because I heard of brain eating amoeba, but as you mentioned they're not all the same. Thank you for the wonderful video!
Hi I purchased a microscope yesterday and the objectives are 4x10xand 45x and the eyepiece are 10xand 15x my question is can I see bacteria and other micro creatures ❤️
Oliver, it appears that your amoeba at ~4:15 and ~3:06 have a fungal infection. You can see what appear to be yeast/fungal cells protruding from the organism.
i found a big amoeba, seen almost covering the hole i guess you could call it place i was looking at in 40-100x on my amscope b120c. i mixed dirty plant water with soft moist moss and found it, it moved quick enough to easily see, any idea what type it is?
Another great videos, AMOEBAE looking similar to white blood cells, it would be interesting to compare them, maybe an idea for a video. I will give a try with rotten wood tip, never thought of that, Thanks :)
Just wondering .. And from your previous video from the washbasin.. If you would have left that material (which you had observed to be bacteria) for some more days under heat and some moisture, .. Would have those "bacterias" would then start fusing together to form larger structures which we are calling amoeba .. But are those smaller different shapes and forms coming together to form larger life? A larger life .. That is now moving similar to those smaller lifes ?
Soil is a good place to try, but it might again take time to find the amoeba tests. I was once lucky and found many of them in a water sample. Conditions must be right.
@@Microbehunter Thank you. I am a recent subscriber. Your channel is amazing and so educational. I hope you get a million subs very soon. Your channel deserves it.
It is DIC, but oblique will produce a similar result. Everything looks gray because the cells are not pigmented (except the one towards the end of the video, which looks like a fried egg). When you look at plant, algae etc then they will look green because of the chloroplasts. I can change the background color, however.
@@Microbehunter my microscope consists of 4X,10X,40X AND 100X HOW COULD I MAKE THEM 20X AND 60X. THEREFORE, WHILE I USE 4X AND 10X I SEE CLEAR BUT IF I TURN TO 40X AND 100X I SEE NOTHING WHY PLS HELP ME
Two questions... 1) how many amoebas on lettuce? 2) risk of amoeba from lettuce, i eat, entering my brain? Edit Maybe if I eat an n. fowleri, laugh, it goes up my nose? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleria_fowleri
I have seen amoeba only once, in my 2and half year experience... same as shown in the video... they were difficult to find! I luckily found it in stagnant rain water, in July 2019 in a jar.. Thank you so much Oliver for this trick.. I will definitely try it!! Amoebas are very interesting protozoa...
Didn't you test the mask and find out it was plastic fibers throughout can you test a mask when someone's worn it for hours please and show us what's growing in there
Why are you so underated. You deserve millions of subscribers
39K is a lot, compared to my 20 subscrbers.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. It's going to help me find samples for my students.
Man .. I need a microscope...love it❤️
Thanks, I would never of thought of looking for them on a piece of wood like that. Very helpful.:)
Many thanks Oliver, that's an interesting idea, I will be trying it soon :-)
Fantastic videos! I'm a student teacher and sharing this will all my university cohort.
2:30 what a technique! Why didn't I think of this!?
New subbie here! I just ordered a Swift 380t, can't wait to start my microscopy journey. Your videos are so much fun!!
I have a toy microscope 😂 but it work well ! So clear. I have seen paramecium with it. I have never seen amoeba. Can I find it in winter season?
The video that I made was in winter. You have to put the wood into water at room temperature. The amoeba will then start to grow.
Yea I also like microscope and I am interested in microscope I will buy a microscpe
@@Microbehunter thanks to answer 😍
the picture is so beautiful
great video!! can you teach us how to cultivate them ?

U fullfilled my wish after 3-4 months
Great Tips, truly hard microbe to find (even white blood cells!)
❤❤❤❤ good work
Severely underrated

Technically white blood cells like neutrophils and macrophages are indeed amoeboid when they transform into their killing form.
Can you please do a video on vampirilla and vampire amoeba

I have never seen amoeba hope to find it soon
What setting of microscope was used ?
It looks like you were able to get that DIC! I hope so! I can't wait for you to make a video about it :)
But hey, thís is interesting and at least for me, a video full of new knowledge! And helpfull too, indeed a great new video here!
awesome video, is there a way to tell between good and bad amoeba?
Yes snort them like you would cocaine.
Thanks!
Sir the wood you take on wood there is lichen? Because I can't make difference between lichen and mosses please tell me please
Actually it does not matter if the wood has moss or lichens. In both cases the wood is old. Moss is green.
@@Microbehunter ok thanks 😊
Thanks for the movie! Which company did you use the microscope objective?
I always been curious about how different looks an oxidized gray out banana vs a yellow one 😍😍😍
Thank You
very nice video, could you please make more tutorials on how to find micro organisms
So I am see moving staff only with time lapse?
Nice, I'm going to try to find one.
Omg im stupid im watching you from a month and im not subscribed! I will subscribe in the moment! I love your channal
I did degree in biology, I only ever saw one amoeba!
How many day I want to leave it
liked and subbed because i love your content :D
where would you find testate amoeba's?
Soil is a good place to try, but it might again take time to find the amoeba tests. I was once lucky and found many of them in a water sample. Conditions must be right.
Hello. What microscope and camera did you use to film this great video?
An Olympus microscope with DIC and Canon DSLR camera.
@@Microbehunter Thank you.
Are you from Quebec?
What are the other things zooming around???
Other microorganisms, like ciliates. Very common.

Very nice thank you.
Do amoebas (not the brain-eating ones) live in mosses?
So if I find a sample, I could keep it alive in a tank with water. Are they aerobic?
Why does everything look grey please tell is it oblique illumination nice video

Wow thats so cool that you have a dic microscope I would love to get a dic microscope
Oh my god, my 1 year old water has no amoebas.
Which object you use
I use 10x, 20x, 40x and 60x objectives. 4x only for getting an overview.
@@Microbehunter my microscope consists of 4X,10X,40X AND 100X
HOW COULD I MAKE THEM 20X AND 60X. THEREFORE, WHILE I USE 4X AND 10X I SEE CLEAR BUT IF I TURN TO 40X AND 100X I SEE NOTHING WHY PLS HELP ME
I am waiting for the connection between the camera and the microscope from the store,he forgot to give it to me
Nice
my microscope cant do that speed up thing
Your cell phone can though if you film through the eyepiece and then use fast playback. :)
