Really great video. You have a new fan here for sure. The way that I've understood light, is that particle photons as you have described them, do not equal wavelength. the units that you mentioned, are the wavelengths of visible light. what you are calling photons, are really just the distance from one photon to the next as they are travelling along like ants in a row. The actual size of an individual photon is a few orders of magnitude smaller, far smaller than what we can measure, sometimes called a point particle. if the ants starts changing their following distance, the wavelength gets "redder" and "bluer". They can, however, get ever so slightly bigger and smaller based on their energy level. So in my interpretation of photons, the size of the volleyball is wrong, it's more like shooting the bear with BB's, and the 400nm to 600nm is just how rapidly you can pull the trigger and still see the trail of BB's. The reason that you can't see the bear, is because you need to pull the trigger even more rapidly, so that the distance between BB's is smaller than the bears length, or they end up mostly missing the bear. An electron microscope is just a Gatling gun that technically fires even bigger rounds, because electrons are even larger than the un-measurably small point like photons.
@@MicrobialLuke Still a really well put together and informative video. I wanted to try to use a metaphor as to why the BB's miss the bear if the wavelength is longer than the bear is. But after now reading your replies to MAGA TRON, I can see that you understand the wave-particle duality of elementary particles, and while they are actually all just disturbances in the various fields, you're absolutely right to talk about them as particles in this situation. What I've been fascinated with, is where the photons actually come from in the first place. Electrons in orbit around an atom's nucleus, can spontaneously leap into a tighter obit, when they do, a photon is emitted outward. When another atom later absorbs the photon, it's own electron(s) leap outward to further orbits. These orbits are the energy levels that can alter the "BB" size slightly. I want say that the photons live inside the electrons, but I'm really at the very edge of my understanding now. Sorry for such long comments, I just enjoy learning about this stuff. Thanks for highlighting my comment, that's a first for me. I wish you all the best for your channel, and hope all your vids are as good as this one.
@@MicrobialLuke Pseudoscience! Germ theory is credible to evolution. Sadly we have a civilization who prefers feeling good over facts. They will literally tell you that men can become women.
Those people don't waste their valuable time trying to convince virus deniers of something that has been continually proven scientifically - even it such a video were uploaded, you people would say it is fake or 3D animated, you can't win - believe what you like, but leave us alone! ;)
I've beeeen wondering for the past few months as to why no real photograph of corona virus, why only 3D graphics. 🦠 I knew its soooooper tiny, but still with all the technological advancements. Thanks for making this video, now I can sleep better! 💤
There's also a Virologist/biologist out of germany named Stefan Lanka. His work is really fascinating. First rule of science is to question everything 😉 A lot of his published works have been translated into English.
Very good video presentation . But at about 4:00 minutes you mention the “ size “ of an electron . If you are referring to the diameter of and electron , this value is way to large , as 0.1 nanometers is about the size of an atom ; and electrons are contained within atoms . In fact , after a little research , it is obvious that the diameter of an electron has not yet been determined ( accurately or otherwise ) .
So, essentially, we're talking about an organism that's smaller than visible light but larger than an atom; therefore, we shine smaller-than-visible-light photons at it to create a reflection that we translate into visible light, so we can "see" it?! My question, then, is how do we differentiate between the reflection and the medium, through which, the reflection travels (air, vacuum, water, etc.)? In other words, it sounds like looking for a grain of sand through clouds; how do we ensure a photon travels through the cloud, unperturbed, for a clear, accurate reflection…especially if portions of the organism are composed of the same atoms/molecules as the cloud (i.e., water)?
Excellent question! Most electron microscopes are high vacuum instruments which helps insure the electrons can travel to the specimen. Furthermore, most specimens are coated with gold or something conducive so they can be made visible. Thank you for commenting!
Good going Microbial Luke! Now, I’d love to understand, why the CoVid-19 tests assays are so complex?! Why can’t labs simply stain biological samples of the mucus membranes & view CoVid-19 under an election microscope? Why do they need to use PCR studies which require multiple steps & even then the sensitivity is not 100% accurate? Still, it’s fantastic to see a young inquiring & clearly brilliant mind so interested in the STEM fields. Excellent
Deni RN Thank you so much for your kind comment. I hope you subscribe! (You can be my 200th subscriber!) As for your question: First off, I am not an expert in any way (so I can be completely wrong), but if I were to make an educated guess based on my experience with PCR work at school it would have to do with density of the virus (this is probably improper wording). If someone were to use your method it would be difficult to see COVID-19 even if infected due to the methods of electron microscopy. Electron microscopes are not as simple to use as light microscopes and require immense amounts of preparation. For example, sometimes scientists must coat specimens with gold or other conductive metals before viewing. I don’t even know for sure if it is possible to just take a sample of an infected person and place it in an electron microscope. Check out this website that shows some methods I just now learned of: www.microscopemaster.com/viruses-under-the-microscope.html On the other hand, PCR replicates even a very small amount of a specific gene so that the gene can be tested. This method is quite accurate since someone can have say 2 copies of the coronavirus gene present but PCR replicates it to an amount that can be tested. As for your question of accuracy, I am not sure, but I probably has to do with PCR being the best method even if not 100% accurate (nothing is 100% in science). Please let me know if you have anymore information because I am learning as well! Thank you for engaging with my video!

I think at around a 500 nm sized specimen, you can still see specimen, but with no detail. So once you are smaller than 500 nm (like viruses), it must be essentially invisible through a light microscope. If you find out I am wrong please let me know, but I am pretty sure the virus is not visible at all. Here is a good website with some more information: www.nanooze.org/worlds-most-powerful-microcope/

I see what you mean but electrons can be called particles as they follow wave-particle duality. It pretty much means waves can behave as particles and particles can behave as waves. For this demonstration it is sufficient to refer to them as particles. “Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure.” I’m addition, you cannot take a photo of an electron. As I explain in my video, you would need to use something smaller than the “thing” you are trying to see in order to collect sufficient data from the reflection of that something. In the case of the coronavirus, electrons are used because they are smaller than a virus. We do not have the capability at this point to see electrons since they are the smallest things we can use at this point in time. Thank you for your comment. I do see your point and I do thank you for actually watching the entire video. I hope you subscribe! 🙂
