- Stentor Coeruleus is a giant single celled organism with tons of tiny "hairs" in it's surface called cilia.
This particular species is very famous and is alsp very easily recognisable by the blue-green colour and the nucleus in the shape of a string of pearls.
Seen at 100x magnification using oblique lighting and Darkfield.
I can feel the squishiness of it when it tries to pass between other microorganisms, imagine how tiny this gap must be that a single called organism struggles to pass through
Stentor coeruleus can be as large as a grain of rice
Wow! So high detailed! I like how you can see all the organelles, even the cilia kicking to propel the microbe through the water.
Honestly, this is the best microscope video I have seen so far!
Thank you very much!
That's very nice you can see lots of structures. Very good!
Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
I'm blown away. It's so beautiful.
Wow. Fascinating!
Beautiful, thank you.
That is one beautiful creature.
Yo that's so well recorded!
May I ask which microscope you used to record this scene ? Colors are vibrant, image is pretty sharp. I don't know if it's only the effect of oblique lighting and darkfield that made the footage possible.
It is an Olympus BX50 with the Plan 10x 0.25 objective. The video was taken with a Nikon D7100 (APS-C DSLR). Edited in Shotcut with some sharpening applied.
Oblique lighting does give very nice results on it's own, but certainly the 100 watt lamp of the scope, plus the camera and the editing help with sharpness and colour rendition.
Uriel, excelente me encantó!!!!
The mitochondria is the power house of the cell
It is. And this one may as well have a couple tens or a hundred of Mitochondria to fuel the entire cell.
@@microbe_guru if that's true, how come you can only see one or two?
@@jaredponder4149 Mitochondria are not visible here. They are far too small and transparent. They can be stained with Janus Green, but this can be done with a Dead and fixed one.
Hola Uriel, tus imágenes también son preciosas. Me encantaría saber más sobre la toma, marca, objetivos, cámara. Ando queriendo mejorar el microscopio, pero como soy autodidacta no encuentro respuesta sobre si acoplarle una cámara de microscopio o una buena de microscopio.......... así como comprar algún objetivo APO etc.
Tengo otra pregunta sobre el Stentor, es si el núcleo de la célula es el círculo marrón o el transparente.
Un saludo.
PD: Intuyo que tu lengua madre es el español, por eso te he preguntado en español.
Hello Uriel, your images are also beautiful. I would love to know more about the shot, brand, lenses, camera. I'm wanting to improve the microscope, but since I'm self-taught, I can't find an answer on whether to attach a microscope camera or a good microscope.......... as well as buy an APO lens, etc.
I have another question about the Stentor, and that is whether the core is the brown circle or the clear one.
All the best.
PS: I sense that your mother tongue is Spanish, that's why I asked you in Spanish.
Muchas gracias.
Utilizo un Olympus BX50 con objetivos Plan acromáticos y una DSLR Nikon D7100.
En mi opinión es mejor acoplar una Cámara DSLR o Mirrorless que una cámara dedicada, a menos de que pienses gastar mucho dinero. Aún no he probado objetivos Apo, pero los de Fluorita son muy buenos y en teoría valen mucho la pena.
Respecto al Stentor, en ésta especie, el núcleo no es ninguno de los que mencionaste. En realidad es el que parece un collar de perlas. Se le llama núcleo moniliforme. El círculo marrón debe ser una vacuola con alimento y el transparente es una vacuola para la osmorregulación.
@@microbe_guru Gracias por tu respuesta, muy amable. Me sirven de mucho tus repuestas, las tendré en cuenta.
En cuanto al núcleo, te diré que, "qué atrevida es la ignorancia", je, je.....
Un saludo.
beauty.
Well show. Good information.
Thanks
Relatable.
What is?
Great footage, what’s the microscope please? Trinocular or shot through an adapter connected to one of the ocular mounts?
It's a binocular Olympus BX50. I use a DSLR on a tripod shooting through the eyepieces. Nowadays I remove the eyepieces for greater FoV and no dust spots.
The wonders that DIC brings to microscopy
Hi. I must say this is sadly not DIC. It is oblique lighting optimized to emulate the Interference Contrast look.
@@microbe_guru well done then....as a user it fooled me!
I love that it looks like it has a "smiley face"
Which microscope did you use to view these ?
How did you manage to get it to be so clear?
It was done using oblique lighting and a DSLR. That ensures good contrast and resolution
@@microbe_guru thanks!
são cílios fazendo propulsão igual hélice de avião? faz até um vortex nos debris!! muito linda a filmagem...
Gracias. Los ciliados tienen pelitos en todo el cuerpo y con estos empujan el agua para nadar. Los cilios frontales los utilizan generalmente para comer.
Incredible. Anyone know how it is propelled?
Since it is a ciliate, it has many tiny hair-like structures on the surface of its body known as Cilia. These have are what move the whole ciliate.
what happened at 0:41? It seems the yellow thing got sucked in, and then caught in a vortex
This is mere speculation, but my best guess is that the polarity of some of the molecules that make up the larger organism are opposite the tiny yellow organism, which caused the repulsion, or maybe it is the mass of the larger one compared to the smaller?
@@jaredponder4149 interesting theories
Fancam
So prettaayyy
It is majestic, yes.
xem video tôi thấy có mấy cái mẹo mấy video trước có rồi
Muy buen video.
To nie dzidzi... A kto??
👍👍👍
Was that smiling

This isn't fair. My optics need an upgrade or I need to learn how to use this microscope properly.
Hehe. Optics are surely great, but you can improve your own images and video by getting to know the principles of photography and videography, video editing and such. Getting to know the ins and outs of your microscope will help a lot.
Good luck
@@microbe_guru thank you
What are some small cells around the stentor?
Mainly green algae Scenedesmus and the Diatom Epithemia.
If it is a single cell .what are all those things inside of it? Can anyone tell me so funny it looks like a steampunk
Organelles. The colourful things are ingested algae. The one resembling a bead string is the (Moniliform) Nucleus. The big circle in the middle is a vacuole and the swirily thing is the Adoral Zone of Membranelles, basically fused cilia used to sweep food into the mouth.

What is this?
This is a protist. A unicellular eukaryote known as a ciliate. Ciliates have tiny hair-like structures called cilia, which they use to swim, crawl or feed. This particular species is called Stentor coeruleus, known for its blue colour and big size.
@@microbe_guru Interesting!! One other thing, you treat them well right like a good scientist? 😊
@@helloitislucie4475 I try not to harm any species on purpose.
