Taking a different view in of the microscopic pond life, the TOMLOV microscopes are relatively cheap compared to stereoscopic microscopes and provide a nicer way to film and view. Some nice new critters in this one #microscope #pondlife #science

Some nice new critters here most notably my first Stentors which feature later in the film, if you dont watch it all at least try to go to 6:20 the stentor footage there is nice. #microscope #microscopy #science

That’s how Jedward started.
eyy, good stuff!
which microscope did you use for this video?
It’s a relatively cheap one from Amazon essbnl less than £300 I believe, hope to upgrade soon as i am at its limits in quality. Thanks for the post
@@garycroftsmicroscopy My omax is of similar clarity to yours and using oblique illumination I have been able to successfully see some bacteria flagellum (after evaporation under the cover slide). I do get green chromatic aberrations in bright field, but that is normal with achromatic objectives. From my understanding the bigger difference between small time amateurs and the big time/professional videos you see is not so much resolution, but special lighting like dark field, DIC, phase contrast, and rheinberg illumination. It also helps they use expensive dslr cameras. Their bright field isn't much different at all when you see it, even microscope costing thousands. With patience you can get dark field (up to 40x), rheinberg, and oblique illumination which is similar to DIC with homemade filters.
@@LostBeetle I have some 3D printed darkfield filters which only work on 4x and 10x haven’t looked at the others to be honest my main issue at the moment is dirt somehow despite lots of cleaning I’m still get dirt on the higher objectives. Driving me nuts. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@garycroftsmicroscopy If you are noticing the dust in dark field, that's just the nature of the beast. That is the biggest achilles heel of dark field. You should see how bad dust looks at 40x, not to mention the glow on all of the edges. I too couldn't get dark field to work past 10x, centering my condenser fixed that problem. I'll type the instructions to the best of my memory. Your microscope might have the same setup. I focused on a slide with my 4x to get the correct distance, I closed my condenser all the way, then I lowered my condenser enough to see the black outline. The centering screws are the three small allen screws, they center a metal ring that holds the condenser. Everything is reversed, but that's easy to comprehend using the eyepiece. For example, if you need to go down, the bottom screw needs tightened, left is left screw, right is right screw. If one screw needs tightened the other two often need backed off a tiny bit. As you center it better and better you can raise the condenser making your black outline smaller and smaller. You're done when your black outline is as small and even as you can get it and all three of the centering screws are snug. I noticed I can get the black outline 99% perfect, it's not a perfect circle so 100% wasn't possible. You'll know when you can't possibly center it any better. These are small allen screws, so be careful not to strip them. Use whatever allen wrench fits the best, I ended up using an imperial sized wrench since it fit a bit better than the metric one. Make sure they are in straight before cranking them. Don't over tighten anything, just snug a little using the short end.
@@garycroftsmicroscopy My reply was removed, how typical. Anyway, I was unable to achieve darkfield past 10x until I centered my condenser. My removed comment was very long and had all of the instructions on how I centered it. Let me know if you need those instructions. As for your dust, I thought you meant with darkfield which is very normal. If you mean higher objectives, if I were you I'd first replace one of those higher objectives. Maybe a good opportunity for a 60x dry if you don't have one. If the problem goes away you can pinpoint the problem to the actual objective and not something in the microscope.
amazing footage
Thanks
Just subbed to you too
So cool
This is a Copepod nauplius larva😊
Thanks for the correction, I honestly had it at a mite
Wtf!!??
Great job! I love your videos
Awesome! What model of tomlov are you using?
Think it's the 402 pro 10inch screen do you make a true 4K one yet?
@@garycroftsmicroscopy Yes we also have a new autofocus 4K model coming soon!
what's the name of the critter at 0:40 ?
Ostracods
Cool bugs
That looks beautiful, also I think that the stenors were budding!
I have hydras if you look through the videos
@@garycroftsmicroscopy yes I will surely
Thanks for the patience! So they keep sharing the stalk (for a while)
Looks like it never seen the divide before
Great images!
Thank you
Is not a shrimp is a scud
nice selection of critters I also keep some debris buckets and a bird bath outside to find new/interesting things, including some cool regular visitors 🙂 what gear are you using to shoot this? thanks for coming by my livestream the other day - I usually do them at night
It's a fairly basic microscope essnbl off Amazon which I'd love to upgrade but camera wise I started with the raspberry pi hq camera and my own software. Lately been filming with my smartphone
ruclips.net/video/iJGJnlkwSpM/видео.htmlsi=4EVa_FNlH6WiCXBJ shows my gear
That seems like a cyanobacterium mass Check out of Nostoc commune It looks like this
Looks like you're correct many thanks
@@garycroftsmicroscopy You are welcome
Close up of under my ball sack I think.
Sea plankton maybe!
Was in a freshwater moss sample
@garycroftsmicroscopy no idea then. It looks very interesting, though
Was that a discomorphella at the beginning of the video?
Certainly looks like it thanks for the speciation, I'm trying to ID the tubular one further in too if you have any ideas
@@garycroftsmicroscopyunfortunately I can’t I’d that. It is a strange one.
The music is nice but you should put the names of what we are seeing. ;)
Thanks for the feedback I used to in my earlier videos will revert back to this
No this is from my compound microscope you can see it in one of my initial videos if you scroll back but it's fairly basic as microscopes go
Nice! Looks like a rotifer, but what specific type, I do not know. What microscope did you use for this capture?
It is none specific brand has Esslnb on it, I hope to upgrade to a motic soon
Wow! What microscope are you using? I saw another of your videos using a Tomlov DM402, of snails in pond water, and that was really nice. Are you using the Tomlov DM402 in this video, also?
Wow! Gary amazing capture, such detail. I came across your writeup whr you spoke about your setup using the raspberry pi camera and i am intrigued. Have been looking up and narrowing down what will be my next microscope setup and at the price of everything these days and the lack luster of most of the affordable setups I have been leaning towards building my own diy setup. Super happy I came across this info as it feels more on track of what i am aiming towards, affordable great imaging for my fairly inexpensive microscope so i can dulge further into the microbial universe of things in life and store/share with others along the way. Thankyou for your time to share and i appreciate your work!
The python code is on GitHub for the camera control
ok so that is what is a driver or hardware going to allow me to use the camera on my computer is it?@@garycroftsmicroscopy
@@junkremovers5825 I use a raspberry pi4 with the HQ camera it uses the legacy version of rasbian OS and the picamera module. What I wrote was a gui application to control all the features of the camera so you can take a picture or start a video etc. from that I move the video files to a pc for editing
Bro got agario'd 💀💀
It always amazes me that in most samples viewed, I can almost guarantee a Rotifer will be seen! Nice work! What are you using for a camera?
It's true they are everywhere, thanks for the comment. I use a raspberry pi HQ camera with my own software on the compound microscope you can see it in one of my early videos
Looks like an old school game of asteroids.
Wow! The second guy was just a little too late. Nice grab!!
Nice! The detail of the chloroplast is amazing!
vorticella rave 😆
😂😂😂
ALLAHUMMA Barik
Remarkable!!!!
How rude
"Promosm"
Shame it was so windy looks like it was me that was drunk filming it
Why is there creatures in the water?
Pipette probably not cleaned enough used tap water but same pipette from previous sample
Actually if you mean the particles as I couldn’t see any critters they move with Brownian motion
Wow, could you please make a short video about your workflow and maybe another one about the different parts of the hardware that you use for the microscope - the reduction lens, and maybe a bit more about the HQ camera setup? There is a big interest in the macroscopy community about good and inexpensive camera setup, and how to build it step by step.
I was on the tomshardware channel where i go into a little more detail ruclips.net/user/livekXO0ybWYGlE?feature=share
I think moths are pretty cool but some people hate them
Very relaxing and full of life ... nature animation is meditation :)
These would do well as shorts too
I mix it up some shorts some longer
And many thanks for subscribing
Amoeba are my favorite to watch. The microbial apex predator, and they're big and slow making them easy to track.
Insane
They seem to twist off at the end stage
Biology is the best fr. We haven’t studied bout ciliates exactly yet, but this is mostly really like any other microbe 😮 I wanted to know, is this a sped up footage? Cuz I think divisions obviously take longer right?
Yes I sped it up was about 25minutes in total
@@garycroftsmicroscopy ah, thought so. Btw great music 😁
Thanks I compile my own on proper videos but not on shorts
@@garycroftsmicroscopy cool dude!
It grunted so hard taking a dump his head blew off!😂😂
This process is called multiple fission. It's natural. Those released nuclei from the parent cell (organism) will gradually form their own surrounding cytoplasm, thereby resulting into a newborn unicellular organism of the same kind.
Wow perhaps I should have let the video roll😀
its such a rare view!
Yes it was a good morning filmed a ciliate division too this morning will edit it next week
@@garycroftsmicroscopy woah cant wait to have a look
The ciliate dividing video is up, it’s on the main videos not a short
@@garycroftsmicroscopy yep saw it!
Is it weird that I actually feel bad for the little thing?
Not at all
