  • Here, I show you Tardigrades or Water Bears - tiny, resilient creatures that can survive in extreme environments. Discover why they're now even on the moon and how to find them in your own backyard. Learn about their unique characteristics, including their slow-moving nature, their ability to withstand harsh conditions, and their tendency to cling to surfaces. With tips on how to locate Tardigrades on moist moss and keep the moss moist, you'll be able to observe these incredible creatures for yourself. [Video 179]
    The maximum objective that I used to make this video was 60x, but they can also be seen well with the 10x objective.

      @Microbehunter  3 года назад +4

      Highest objective was 60x but then I could not fit the whole animal in the field of view. 20x to 40x objective was used most often. I used DIC, which gave it a slight 3D effect.

    How do you get such clear images? Are there specific cover glasses and slides that are clearer than others? When I try to take photos of microbes they always seem to have a slight haze to them.

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  3 года назад +9

      No specific cover glasses etc. Yes, the microscope is good, but this is not all. Proper camera set-up, lighting control, and also making sure that the specimen (water bear in this case) is "isolated" and not clinging to other things that distract from the "cleanness" of the image. So it is a composition thing as well. Restrict the movement of the specimen so that it does not go out of focus (little water beneath the cover glass) and the last secret: you adjust the contrast in the video editing program. The images do look less crisp when originally filmed.

    Dear Microbehunter! On my workplace i could recover 3 culled microscopes. One Zeiss Technival 2 and two Looking exactly like an Olympus BH2 but made by a german company. The Zeiss can be set from 0,5x to 5x with a 10x eyepiece. The two other microscopes had no eyepieces and only one 4x glued in the rotary mount, however, they work with the Zeiss 10x eyepiece perfectly. I want to show it to my 7 year old son who is charmed by animals of any kind. What magnification objective should I buy to be able to see the most interesting streamlet wildlife?

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  2 года назад

      I would buy a whole set of (cheap) objectives but from the same series, so that the focus stays same when you change the objective. Assuming that the BH2-like microscope is a 160mm microscope (check the 4x objective for "160"), then I would buy a whole set of objectives (4x, 10x, 40x) from Aliexpress, but not 100x oil. For water life 20x is also good. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002678095358.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.76ac5530PN79Gt&algo_pvid=59e8b925-4b90-4be5-9b89-53ad9e0d5686&aem_p4p_detail=202110021445555154408379185180020592430&algo_exp_id=59e8b925-4b90-4be5-9b89-53ad9e0d5686-14&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000021675165452%22%7D

      The Olympus BH-2 is a classic microscope. It came with 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x Plan Objectives and
      10X Binocular Eye Pieces. Well worth getting the correct eyepieces and objectives.

    Is it fair that we do not call these space aliens? I mean... If an intelligent species, one that says it want to find space aliens, e.g. humans, considers this being to be bear-like, might we say that quite to the contrary, these humans are typically afraid of space aliens and prefers to imagine a universe of earthlings?

    I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS....I Have 2 microscopes. It takes so much of my attention just learning what is on me or in my house, food, clothes ect.....I love it ! But I have a question , I recently had a tank top with spaghetti straps and it kept itching me and stinging me. So obviously what do you think I did ? Ha ha ha ha I put it under the scope....Lol....and to my horror There was these fleshy white animal looking things with a hook and claws or something, woven between every fiber. So I looked at the label and it was made in china...also the fiber squares that didnt have the creature in it , it had something that looked like a type of seed or egg that just hadnt hatched yet !!! Im truly horrified about my sourroundings now . Plus needless to say. I think I have a parasite, or " parasites " ! I used gloves but I pulled out this fatty short type of worm that was in my feces in the clen toilet. What could it be ? I swear it looked like a slug or fat snail that had a ridge down the length of it.....I also Rock Hound and Ive put a few stones in my bathtub to clean them because they were beautiful . Well I left them to sok for about an hour and this 1 1/2 inch white worm with a face and ependages stickibg out the side of it .....it looks scary as heck. Lol. Thank you. God Bless You.

      Sounds like bed bugs to me. The itching and stinging, and back during colonial times, beds were made to be tightened up with ropes, which kept the sleeper high enough off the ground to avoid such things. This is where the phrase "sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite" comes from, btw.
