    This makes me feel hopelessly large and ignorant of a whole story of cells and their lives as they live, die, and repeat, while I compare myself to the size of the universe and feel small, part of me wishes I was much smaller, and yet thankful I am not.

      Okay, well keep in mind, there is no perspective of the universe that allows you to see the universe. Even out side the universe you would be blind to the inner workings at the center by the dense layers and ever changing scenes. Your position is as good as anything.

      Andre Lin, rotifers can actually move quickly if they need to. Amoebae are slow but steady. I’ve seen video of a large amoeba slowly engulfing a pair of resting paramecia, which don’t recognize the threat until they’re completely surrounded, and then they freak out.

    I watched a ciliate die in a similar manner once. It was more rapid as well as explosive, its organelles spiraling out into the void. As I was tripping hard on lsd at the time the death of this microbe that I had been observing (I named it Cecil) was soul crushing. I yelled "Cecil, you had so much to live for!" My roommate asked me "Who the heck is Cecil?"
    "One of the ciliates that used to live with us."
    One of the magnificent aspects of microscopy is how such a tiny sliver of our own universe becomes your entire visual world; the dichotomy of looking at the drop of pond water as I place it on a slide and then experiencing it as an ocean through the microscope.
    You also mention the phenomenon of a healthy microbe dying after it encounters the fresh corpse of another. I've wondered if it is lysosomes from the deceased encountering and damaging the membrane of the healthy cell.

  • @fancyobsession1803
    @fancyobsession1803 4 года назад

    Few questions:
    1. Under the microscope, how much of the z-axis do we see (besides the x-y plane)? What's the DOF that we are dealing with?
    2. How thick is the typical z-axis when samples are prepared?
    3. So far all the movement we see is left-right up-down, all we learn in school and see everywhere is that the "microcosmos" world is "flat"; how different do the organisms react/move when it's in the "real" world (where z-axis is "infinite") vs on the limited depth of the samples that we are viewing?
    4. Do micro organism even care about 3D space, or everything to them is 2D-ish.
    5. Any technology available to have a more 3D representation of the microcosmos?

    Today you showed us, that surviving each day, even each hour is a hard task in the microcosmos. This leads to the next topic: How fast and actually how do most of the microorganisms (especially the multi-cellular, where mitosis is not enough) reproduce? Have some organisms even some states of age, like growing up and adults ready to reproduce again?

    The mystery of the contagious death could be an enzyme that is released to dissolve the membrane and even the dilute remnants cascade a reaction in the living nearby.

    Can you recommend a book on how to do this kind of work? Preparing slides and observing microscopic life.
