Same. I got to take mine home from school. It was a really nice expensive one, which worked very well. I didn't get into the fascination of the microscopic world (though it still interests me), but I fell in love with the mechanism, it's self. I'm now deeply into Engineering!
I was super lucky. My mom was a microbology teacher and bought a dual view binocular compound microscope from their lab when it closed. I even got to look at a biopsy slide of a benign bone tumor I had removed :D
Well that's super cool. Lots of us just got to look through a cheap, 20 year old microscope that never quite focused right. Lol still a life-changing experience the first time you look into one.
Salesman: Hello sir! Could I interest you in a microscope? Customer: No thanks, I’d have no use. Salesman: Here is my business card in case you ever do! Customer: I can’t read this, it’s too small! Salesman: Boy have I got the product for you!
I think they chose some lesser known microfauna on purpose. Most people with an interest in microscopy already know about tardigrades, nematodes and paramecia. Although that would also exclude amoebas ...
Dear SciShow Editors, I’m a little offended you chose a 2nd grader to represent people looking at pond water under microscopes. Love, A 21 year old who still looks at random stuff under a microscope
While my own home microscope experience was lackluster (it didn't have its own light source, and its ability to use sunlight was disappointing), the one I bought for my niece last year was surprisingly good and the whole family had a blast looking at pond water. Yes, I and *that* aunt.
Seeing any video mentioning good things to have in a case of a pandemic while being dated in like 2019 or 2018 is like a twisted sort of "if they only knew"
What i remember of my microscope, was somehow having the stain leak all over everything in the box, and not being able to clean it off. Since I probably was about 8, that would have been some 65 years ago.
9:05 "Alga". I've never heard anyone say the singular before - I didn't even know it had one. I quickly made the correlation with algae and guessed it must be the singular - and then it clicked. As someone in the pretty early stages of learning Latin, I suddenly recognised that as a common singular/plural format in Latin. Like puella meaning girl and puellae meaning girls.
Loved my microscope. One of my favorites things was hatching Brine Shrimp. Also we had a pond near by and a drop of pond scum was always teaming with stuff to look at.
Nice video. I actually added subtitles to your first four episodes of journey to the microcosmos, but last time I checked they hadn't been published yet. Hope you can check those soon.
Totally unrelated to this topic, but i have a suggestion for a future video. I am curious how step counters work. The new "fitbit" exercise tracker complex sort that knows when you're bouncing your knee and when you're actually walking/biking/whatever. Love the channel and all your interesting topics. keep up the awesome videos!
This video is awesome Also put a baby mosquito under the microscope for a very scary sight, they are terrifying. Since they are large and an animal they are very easy to see and find for beginners
Oh man, so many organisms you could also have included! Green- and red-eyed Euglena, fuzzy Paramecia, huge Stentor, beautiful Spirogyra, adorable tardigrades . . . amoebas are a little disappointing: they are largely colorless and difficult to see.
Yeah, but this is clearly meant as a teaser for the other show. And I must disagree with your assessment of amoebas; watching one devour something for the first time makes up for their dull looks. They are _behaviorially_ interesting.
I came across that second channel completely by accident a few days ago, didn't know it was you guys donig it. "The Giants" was a mindboggling episode. I didn't know single cells could get that big.
12:38 Hey, I know Andrew Huang! He did a collaboration with Malinda Kathleen Reese - Autocaption Sings. I'm subscribed to Malinda's Twisted Translations channel.
Hey, one question: What would you recommend to better watch things like those in "Journey to the microcosmos" more for someone with some expertise using microscopes: Upright or inverted? As its live things, I would guess that inverted, but I have absolute 0 experience with them and fear a bit things like the size of the "coverslip" wouldn't be too thick for 700x? How do you avoid the guys from going out of focus in the Z-axis? Keeping the water film narrow? etc, etc... Any comments are appreciated
Skirmitch, I used to put bits of modeling clay on the corners and stick them on the slide. Sure, creatures can move in the Z axis, but it beats squishing them when the water starts to dry.
I love how you get all the word endings right for plural and singular scientastic nouns on this channel, even the obscure ones that pretty much everybody (including scientists) get wrong. In this video alone, you said "alga" and "pseudopodia" like it was nuthin'! Too bad about the amoebas though (I know, it's "ok." But no, it really isn't at all :P Anyhow I forgive you and remain impressed).
BUT, what will happen to them after? Will they still be there when we (or other critters) say, want to drink or wash with the water? Are they going to be in us/them?
I was one of those lucky kids that got a microscope. I still have it. Sits on my bookshelves next to all my uni textbook. One of my most prized possessions. Even if it is absolute awful
( I mean, I have to squint *really* hard to believe the best of the Deep Fakes, and they are purportedly very good.... Is spotting CG a lost skill, or something you have to have grown up with _really bad_ CG to be able to spot the tell-tales? )
And the threat of contracting giardiasis coupled with your car imagery brings to mind that classic childhood rhyme, "when you're driving in a Chevy and you're feeling something heavy diarrhea. diarrhea."
Gosh, being a biology student gave me a lot of microscope time, I think I even saw conjugating Paramecium once, we aren’t 100% sure because it is possible it was just a cell going through mitosis and we saw it at the end of telophase
I think I was around 10 when I got a microscope at Christmas. At first I only examined static subjects but a couple of years later I found a "recipe" to collect single cells organisms: fill a jar with water and hay, put it uncovered in a sunny location, wait a few days, put a drop of the result on a slide and examine it with the microscope. I never thought of trying anything but hay back then but I'm sure all kind of grasses or plants or even dirt would work too. I gave away my microscope to my brother in law when he was at university, he wanted it to examine metals. This video makes me want to get a new one but my hobbies of electronic and computer science are already a stretch income as I live on a disability pension. I could quit drinking but it's my only vice and I truly like beer, specially finding new ones. Now I'm wondering what I could see with a microscope from a mix of water and beer that's been sitting under the sun for a few days.
When we use a filter, after it does its job, it is full of the stuff we want removed, then we remove the filter, and either clean it or dispose of it. Like a filter for an air conditioner or a tap water filter. Do we need to do the same, when using rotifers? Do they need to be collected after they become saturated with what they are filtering?
Volvox eh? Now I know where they got the name for the main villain in the SNES game E.V.O. The Search for Eden. And yeah, Bolbox as he's called in-game, is basically a blob with a handful of random "cells" floating around inside, which turn out to be copies of all the stage bosses.
O_o;; I actually remember phagocytosis and pinocytosis and learning about it in school...because I was sitting in biology class when the first plane hit the World Trade Center.
Giardia almost killed my dog. Always look if your anthelmintics include giardia. When the faeces of your dog start to smell worse then just bad. Go to a local vet and collect samples of poop. 3 faeces for 3 days in a row thats important! They are also difficult to diagnose. Incubation time of 14 days .
Had a small microscope back when I was a child, came with some slides of insect wings I think it was. It didn't work that great tho, so I never got to interested by it, however I do seem to recall looking at my spit through it and seeing something or other moving around. It's been 20 years however so the memory's not that clear.
make a video about creature you can see without a microscope i had misread the title as just that^ and was like huh... only 4?? i could have sworn i can see more than that
For an organ that is supposed to be a filter for harmful or useless matter and gets exposed to them often, the liver seems to get infected quite easily...

ROTIFERS!
I remember back when I was in second grade and my Iowa grandparents gave me a microscope in a wooden box for Christmas... it changed my life.
Same. I got to take mine home from school. It was a really nice expensive one, which worked very well. I didn't get into the fascination of the microscopic world (though it still interests me), but I fell in love with the mechanism, it's self. I'm now deeply into Engineering!

WAIT! Your microscopes had lights? Our only had mirrors to reflect sun light or lamp light.
I can't remember if mine had a light or just a mirror.
😂 your right, but I used mine so much my Dad bought the light for it.
Mine had a nearly microscopic lightbulb on the flip side of the mirror. Now-a-days I'd recommend using the LED from your phone, it's much brighter.
I had both

Do a video on dark field microscopy. I'm sure these microbes would look interesting in that type of microscopy.
Love your new channel. Have watched every video so far and not one has disappointed
1:05 "Old school projectors" Ouch man. That hurt. That was amazing tech to a school kid in the 80s. Are you calling me old?
Huh. I was born in the early eighties, and we still had those projectors when I was in college.
I'm now back in college, and everything is digital.
This video is awesome
Also put a baby mosquito under the microscope for a very scary sight, they are terrifying. Since they are large and an animal they are very easy to see and find for beginners
8:09- 8:14 That is the definition, Hank. Thanks.

Is there any linkage between chlamydia the STD and chlamydomonas? There has to be, it’s the same word with a suffix? Right?
One of the first things I saw under a microscope was my own gametes. The perspective that gave me still resonates with me to this day.
