Since I recently bought both Stereo and Compound scopes. I am new to the channel and quickly watching your entire library of videos. It would be helpful, when you show one of your specimen videos, list the objective used and the magnification. thanks
I think this qualifies as a facepalm moment for me, that is to never have realized that I had seen Cyanobacteria so frequently in my life but always figured the “pond scum” was just another algae so never took a closer look. I will be looking at the world with new eyes thanks to you.
When I have a passing glance to thumbnail, out of the corner of my eye, I thought it was John Oliver. When I looked again, I was pleasantly surprised. Very informative video.
I found Nostoc one day and since then have seen it in many forms many places. Mostly in fresh water as green "jelly beans" of various sizes, but also as sheets of gel-like material on moist ground. Under the microscope they appears as strings of "beads" with an occasional "bead" larger than the others. I assume that is an example of the "specialized cell" you mentioned.
They become colloquial agents meaning they hitch a ride to catch the rays. In the mean time they get caught up on trees, plants, siding of houses along with anything else in the path which means human and animals. We inhale many life forms when the dew is up, fogs thick. If you live near water This stuff is whats up and most likely all over the side of the house especially the cement/cinder blocks. They are literally everywhere in every living thing. They are part of the evolutionary process... Just as any microbes, too many clogged in a system where they don't belong or where food runs out they can cause issues/sickness.
Hello microbehunter. I just have a question for you. Is it possible to find a microscope with 5 objectives at a low price, such as arround 500 canadian dollars (binocular, with a condeser, etc, all basic features)? Thank you verry much for your videos.
@@Microbehunter Hello , i am a bit pissed off , No i am very pissed off !!!!! Why you ask ? Because i just bought an Amscope T490B Microscope and the Condenser only goes up to .65 so i cannot use my x40 objective which is .70 , in fact even the x40 that came with the Microscope i cannot use because it won't focus and it is all Hazy and i certainly cannot use my x100 Oil Objective. They never told me this when i bought it , i think we all have a very good case to sue Amscope for false advertising. So basically i have to buy a new condenser , in fact two new condensers as the dry darkfield condenser only goes up to .90 , so again i could not use the x100 Oil at 1.25 What is our chance to sue them in Court ? I am Fuming
Ok I have this in my blood and my stools I have been very very sick thought it was covid and this is in everyone I am testing and only a few of us are sick so is there anything I can do
Hi Oliver I was wanting to know is it possible if you could show us your fingerprints under the microscope that would be neat I looked at my own thank you and I enjoy your content
Easy to do: color your fingers with a pencil (not colored pencil but a regular one) and then press the finger on the sticky side of a tape. Stick the tape to paper. If too little graphite from the pencil comes off, then draw a thick area on paper and rub finger tip on the paper to transfer the graphite. Works pretty well. I might indeed make a video. Good for stereo microscopy.
What are Cyanobacteria? Answer: A group of bacteria that drive people who care about nomenclature crazy! For anyone confused by this comment, there has been a lot of drama between two camps that have been arguing on which nomenclature rules should apply to cyanobacteria. Nomenclature just covers the rules for naming organisms. Originally, the cyanobacteria were believed to be plants, so the botanical nomenclature was used. However, we later found that they are actually bacteria, so the prokaryote nomenclature would apply. Nonetheless, a lot of the cyanobacteria researchers want to stick to the botanical nomenclature. There have been a bunch of meetings and committees to sort this out, but the two camps are still fighting over which nomenclature to use.
@@Microbehunter have a serious treat for you, not a troll. I'm asking you to trust, and I swear it will pay off if you haven't seen this from Harvard yet.

@@Microbehunter please if you could watch the video I posted...and explain just what it is we are witnessing, it would be amazing if you could! It seems so unbelievably futuristic I can't even comprehend the level of sophistication happening under *that* type of microscope....just wow..
But also their own villain; they almost caused themselves to go extinct along with the other 99% of the first life forms, especially with the Great Oxidation Event and the first ice age. I am surprised that they're still around today. Life itself has a knack for going full-on cray-cray.

That oxygen bubble is remarkable!
Its almost magical how it seems to inflate out of nothing
One of the oldest forms of life on earth.
Amazing creature,Great photo's.

Pond scum is actually spirogyra, an actual green algae

He really looks different without his glasses. Confused me too at first.

That white looks familiar to me while looking under the scope. Seems to be yeast attached. Prob feeding on it. Symbiosis and all
You wonder why there are white cyanobacteria and i wonder why they called them "blue" bacteria if i have never seen a blue colony
My roof has this cyanobacteria growing on it.
Very interesting!
what happens when these algea
streamz & lakes during its warm
evaporaton seasonz ?

What can I see with my foldscope..😢😢😢😢I can't find anything and I even don't know how magnification it has please help.....🙏🙏🙏🙏

Not to my knowledge. But try the used market for brand scopes. Most have 4 objectives.

Are Cyanobacteria like a super-organism made up of tons of organisms if they have specialized cells just like animals?
Strictly speaking not a super-organism, because the individual cells are able to survive on their own. A bit of a question of definition, of course.

And religion says that God created life! What a joke and nonsense ! Science explains everything!

Who created cyanobacterias?
