Spirogyra was my first hit because it sits still, also it looks so damned cool. Being able to see the nucleus was really cool, a lot of the pond dwellers are too fast or so transparent that it is hard to pick out. Vorticella, rotifers, euglena and more are on my todo list.
Nick Moore Looking forward to it! Volvox is also a fascinating algae BTW, navigating the line between single- and multi-cellular organism and looking really beautiful.
Those chloroplast arrangements kind of look like they are in triple-helixes, but it messes with my eyes to keep looking. I wonder if that is a consistent trend throughout. With respect to its design, what a well-adapted creature; the spirals gives it huge surface area for light collection and a extreme flexibility for turbulent, shallow water survival. You were certainly right to call it successful. That stuff is everywhere here in PA!
The various species have different numbers of spirals, from one to six. It's likely that I "caught" a few different types in my sample. Using spirals does seem like a surface area maximizing technique. I'll have to look for more in plant samples from now on.
+Jim Bryson If you look in the bottom corner I've added a scale. All the video was taken with 4x, 10x, and 40x objective lenses but the actual magnification depends on the camera and some other measurements, that's why I added the scale. The microscope I'm using goes for about 200$ on eBay if you can find it. Usually listed as a veterinarian tool.
+Alex Gamer _360 I work a full time job that switches from 12 hour days to 12 hour nights every week. If you want to fund me I will make more videos, otherwise it's gonna be 2-3 times a month, sorry dude.
Yay, the long-awaited Spirogyra video :) And actually earlier than I had thought. So thanks, and keep up the great work!

+Penny Lane I've been looking but haven't found any yet. I'll have to check more streams and ponds nearby.

00:01 - Wow! They almost look like how we visualise carbon nanotubes, but green in colour. Amazing stuff.
please make a video in which the spirogyra shows its movement
Do rotifers at some point. They're very pretty. Especially if you can use polarized light.
+John Ridley I've started filming them already, I eve got some 600fps high speed of their "mouth parts!"
you are from Britain tell
I'd love to see a shot of your setup.
+Dragos Puri I'll do a gear video sometime soon.
it wo6ld be nice to see the complete spiral. Have you tried phocus stacking?
+Carlos Bueno I have but not with great results. If I ever get good at it I will include it with later videos. Thanks for watching!
This is beautiful! How much magnification are you using? How nice of a microscope do you need to see things this well?

Jim Bryson mast cell activation fee for you to i was a good night 👶 I love it so ready to leave at the
Thank you sir
so is it unicellular or multicellular
It's a bunch of single cells in a long strand.
thanks this helped me lot in studiying reproduction chapter of class 10
