I've used standard, lab microscopes, but nothing with this type of resolution or tracking abilities. Any help or tips in the right direction would be appreciated! I'm just so curious!

      I liked the voice better before I realized that it was Hank that was narrating these videos. Now, all I see is his face and it's distracting, even though it's an enjoyable and fitting narration voice. Years back, when I used to watch Sci-Show, I eventually started getting sleazy used car salesman vibes from him just from his appearance, mannerisms, and speech, and it turned me off.

  • @Skeptical_Numbat
    @Skeptical_Numbat 11 месяцев назад +46

    There are times when I'd really love to see some diagrams & illustrations of these organelles included in the descriptions of how they work.
    Things in microcosm are so alien in their biology (to our comprehension) that trying to understand them by referring to well known aspects of macroscopic life would obviously cause misinterpretations.
    An obvious question is how do these microbes prevent their weapons from hurting themselves? Maybe some of their tools are like needles with a sharp end & a blunt end, or perhaps they're tipped with enzymes tailored to the chemistry of their prey? Presumably those with venom are at least resistant to self-inflicted stings or they'd all go extinct pretty rapidly, but do they have sensory mechanisms capable of recognising the difference between their own body (or another of their species) & that of a prey organism?

  • @AlienXtream1
