    It's fascinating to see the white blood cell at 5:18 appear to eat and destroy a diplococcus bacteria! It also appears that another diplococcus bacteria gets stuck to the back of that white blood cell and hitches a ride as the WBC travels around the blood.

    What DIC objectives do you own (brand & magnification) ?
    Did you configure your Olympus CH40 for differential interference ?
    The live images you obtain with 60x and 100x are incredible !

    Nobody noticed that the first sample images has separate red blood cells, and the second, when he explains that a white blood cell is moving, the red ones are aligned together in the same position forming groups. For an unadvertised eye this is nothing, but when you know, then you understand that the second sample has the effect of the exposition to EMF´s (electro magnetic fields) which depolarized them, lacking the magnetic strength to repel each other and keep their phisical frontiers in order to work, and avoiding the clusters, precursors of blood clots. Please give this comment a thumbs up due to the importance of this info. The people must know this.

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  4 місяці тому

      The stacking up of the red blood cells is called Rouleaux formation and happens everytime when the blood starts to dry up, and when there is sufficient blood beneath the cover glass. In the sample where the blood cells do not stack up, I used very little blood so that the blood cells are limited in their movement beneath the cover glass. This is why they are in parallel to the microscope slide and visible from the top. They are not able to stack up because they can not turn 90 degrees due to the limited space. This has nothing to do with EMF and it was also the same blood sample, just prepared differently.

    1000x mag
    20x time speed
    Brightfield
    Perhaps adding also a scale to be able to roughly measure what we are seeing.

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  3 роки тому +5

      It is Differential interference contrast. Almost all videos were made using a 100x oil immersion objective, but putting a magnification next to it is almost meaningless, because it differs from clip to clip because I zoomed in (I cropped) therefore changing the total magnification on screen. I will add this information in the description.
