@@penguins0392 I learned we must all eat! Their drive is to find food and continue to reproduce. It's universal for organic creatures!

Maybe we're just inside an organism on someone's slide collection! It's the idea that micro organisms don't have any clue about what's outside their direct environment that feels like our relationship to the universe.
What to say? It's mind-boggling that these things are so complex while being so small and that they exhibit such complex behaviour. It confirms my belief that consciousness is not a human development. It started with life and we are conscious systems rather than conscious beings.
What's blowing my mind is how fast the cilia are still beating, even slowed down 800%!!! Also - it's so evident on some of those clips how soupy the water is for those little beings to swim through.
The video of my DREAMS from this channel! This channel offers basically every positive thing: knowledge, beautiful footage, gorgeous music, and the best narration ever! Thanks so much for this utterly sublime content.
The motion makes so much more sense in slow motion. At speed it just looks like they just vibrate their way around, or flail noodles at random directions and it somehow propels them.
Extraordinary imaging. Slow motion in microscopy is rare enough, slow motion DIC is even more rare, and now 240fps slow motion DIC in 4k... Absolutely stunning. I found myself staring at the minute details of the organisms surface and cilia, all while grinning like a fool! Beautiful job tracking the organisms motion and focus planes, too. I know how much work that is. James, you've really outdone yourself! Really nice score as well.
@@georgeparkins777 well, if it is placed near the place the microscope is focused on, maybe you COULD correlate sounds with movements. You never know what you might discover.
Watching this, I wondered about the possibility of capturing sound as well ... some kind of system where a microscopic mic follows the area of focus, I imagine. Would be fascinating to hear correlated audio. What does their world sound like? Do these microscopic animals "hear sound" by sensing vibration in some way?
If you had something sensitive enough to capture the vibrations made from micro-organisms, I think you would capture the sound of the Earth vibrating/human breathing/general vibrations from other animals.
Thank you!! It would be more interesting if you showed normal speed at the beginning for ~ 5 seconds, and only then slow motion. )) ------------ Спасибо!! Было бы интереснее, если бы вначале ~5 секунд показывать обычную скорость, а уже потом слоу мо.

Hey guys! Appreciate all the beautiful footage! I have a question, and google hasn't been much help...but I'm wondering: how deep is the space between the top and bottom of the slide? Thanks again!
It depends on how you prepare your slide. If it has lots of debris it will be thicker. It you put mainly water it can get pretty thin. Perhaps even 50 micrometers.
This was beautiful and fascinating. I watched it twice through with my newborn baby girl, and it chilled the pair of us right out. Gorgeous footage and sublime music. Thank you.
Love the Slow-mo-fo-sho yo my micBros ... masters of my cilia.. .. you guys are PROtozoa for showa. I have so much more love for the slime in my tub that's why I made you this rhyme... Just because... You rock.. thank you for your time and slime♥️🙏🤘🏼🕉️
Very well done Mr. V. Terrific list of resources at the end. If I was not heading right into retirement I would have my Social Studies for Non- Majors students watch this video and see what we could generate from it.
you can actually see the way the cork-screw bacteria move... one flagellae at one end that rotates both directions to allow for forward and backward screwing.
The only thing that gets me about these amazing videos is that we're seeing the lives of microorganisms in a nice stable drop of water between two plates of glass under a microscope in a warm lab with a nice light shining through them. Almost like a mellow kind of Spongebob Squarepants vibe. But most of the time, these critters are going over Niagra Falls and being flushed down the crapper, not so mellow then eh!
I had a microscope as a kid and I'd bring pond water home and watch these critters blast around. Then I was lucky to work in Microbiology so I could use good microscopes with phase contrast, polarization and various filters. But that was back in the 1970-80's. Have not done it since then. This is just mind blowing. I was transfixed. Such beauty of organisms that were familiar, I could not believe it would be this moving for me. Thankyou.
Beautiful video and music...very psychedelic and engaging. The magnification and slowed playback speed make them appear as giant sea creatures. Why would anyone need supernatural wonder when the natural wonders are this deep and rich?
A microscope only focuses on a thin layer, leaving all other stuff very out of focus. Is there a way to make a microtelescope? Something that can sit inches or feet from the subject but still have high enough magnification to get this kind of detail? Then the entire organism could be in focus. Since I've never seen such a thing I can only assume it doesn't exist.
You should make a Patreon option to download the uncompressed files. It's hard to tell what is blurry cuz youtube can't stream 4k each frame or what is blurry cuz the lenses can't focus on everything at once.
I love this so much! If there were a version that had a soundtrack like the demo: Protozoa by Kewlers (which was By Actor Dolban and Little Bitchard iiuc), I'd be ecstatic!
12:00 Who's going to look at that ciliate and tell me it's not just a Roomba nanobot? All of those things seem to just be sweeping up the detritus all around them. Everywhere.
Guys I love your videos thank you for showing us the beauty and mystery of life. You should try to film the details of Blobs (fisarum polycephalum) or other myxomycetes and film some details in mycetes !
Seeing this paired with knowing it's slow motion makes me wonder; how do microbes experience the passage of time? From what I know our own experience of time speeds up as we age, so surely an organism so different must be feeling it differently. Do these little creatures, from their own perspective, live incredibly long lives? Do their photoreceptors interpret the light of the sun fading and returning each day the way we feel entire seasons? Maybe it's wishful thinking, but with their relatively short lifespans I hope they get more "time" to experience and enjoy it all.
Considering all the cognitive research into how simple animals feel & think (or don't), it's hard to say they that most of them experience anything at all really. I tend to think of them as equivalent to complex biological sensors, drawn to nutrients and, repelled by threats. But there *are* definitely some tiny critters, e.g. copepod (planktons) that have more evolved neurons, that make them *very* reactive, so life for them could be very much like you described :) I've wondered the same thing for fruit flies that only live 1-2 weeks, mature in 2 days (and are massively researched because they're easy to breed and study). It's a great thing to wonder, considering how many bigger animals we've abused for centuries, assuming they don't think and feel anything like us.

I find these videos fascinating. I'm curious about something and maybe someone can help explain. I realize we're viewing a slide from the top looking down. Do these animals sense up and down at the microscopic level the same way we do? Everything always seems to be moving *across* the field of view in two axes, not up and down in the third Z axis ... is this because the slide only creates a very thin film layer for everything to swim in?
It would be .. at least equally stunning and I suspect beyond words, to witness some specific frequencies with some of these creatures. Nothing cruel, but I guess how does one know? I just wonder what might be the reaction
