Lovely video!! Now my interest in finding Amber is even more evoken. I love fossils and discovering extinct lifeforms just as much as you! Spending my free weekends on the hunt for fossils. And I am lucky enough to live and work at the Baltic coast for now.
Really interesting, Jarek! My favorite was the beetle with the metallic colored wings and the flower. I love how skilled you are at pictures. The detail is incredible. 🧡
Nice video my dziadowski friend :) Your knowledge growing and growing so it is very nice. Inclusions are never boring. Keep it up with nice informative videos. Cheers from the amber cave.
I was so fascinated by all of this! Can you share the details of your microscope setup? I would be very interested in this for my jewelry identification. I have some amber but few of them have any traces of insects or plant material. I love the fact that you are so scientific about your collecting, from how you harvest the pieces, how. you clean them, and how you analyze them. It's just so brilliant. Thank you! I spent my childhood with a microscope at my eye looking at insects I would collect from my back yard, so your video evoked memories of one of the most interesting parts of my life. THANK YOU!
I also have insects from the garden 😆, covered i paraloid adhesive to keep them from deteriorating. I have cheap chinese microscope levenhuk dtx 90 , i use cold hologen lights and mirror under inclusion to get good lighting, and then i make 30-60shots , focus stack it , enhance resolution and remove noise with software, fix color grading to get final result picture
Wonderful shots, I think the interesting thing about the beetle amber is the other inclusions of pollen and leaf pieces, I would be interested to know what the chemical composition of the air in the air bubbles is.
@@Amberscape this has already been investigated, but the results are speculative, at that time the oxygen content was around 30% (today it is 21) - As an ant keeper and emperor 😂 of several ant colonies, I find the ants in amber fascinating, especially the extinct ones and even more that still exist today.
Do you know of any good resources for identifying microscopic amber inclusions? I finally bought some amber, and I see so much tiny microscopic detail, but have no idea what it is! For example, one thing I found is a big entangled group of 35 micron spheres with a bunch of 90-150 micron spikes coming off of them. How can I find out what those are?
Theres video microscope unboxing i have made wayy back there you should see exact model , video is called "Trying on my brand new microscope on insects inside of baltic amber" , But its really old model now! I would suggest getting something newer, im squizing 300% of performance from this microscope, i did chop off the plastic from where lens is to get closer to the inclusions and i use software to enhance and upgrade my end result pictures
That flower was amazing! Almost had a cactus look to it.
Yeees absolutely awesome flower! Its supper fluffy😁
Lovely video!!

Then we have same hobbies😁, speaking of fossil hunts - this weekend i will do few days trip to hunt fossils at cretaceous fossil deposits in poland:)
Wonderful video!
Thank! Glad you enjoyed it😁

I will check in the evening, dm me so i dont forget to ansver
@@Amberscape Model name please :D
Awesome
Thanks!:)
14:02 lookin like some dank

I wonder if someone already did some scientce with that ancient water and air inside of amber🤔

@Iceguide i bet you would sell your kidney for hell ant colony 😆😁

Hey! Theres some books with amber insects, and some experts in the field, if u send me dm with pictures i can try to id your inclusion:)
@@Amberscape I sent you an email with the pictures, and thanks so much for being so helpful, i really appreciate it!
Hello Jarek! Can i ask what is the name/type of that microscope? I bought one from China, but mine is terrible...
I have checked for you, I think its a Levenhuk Microscope DTX 90

@@frenchtek Thank you!
@@Amberscape Thank you!
Your first amber sample had a second inclusion, what was it?
Hmm im not sure! Either super tiny organism or just dirt (piece with red ant?)
the Thumbnail had me worried as the fossil was a Spider in amber I'll let it slide cuz their arthropods
