Microbes Swimming in a Japanese 50¥ Coin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лис 2022
- A 50¥ Yen coin opens an unexpected portal into the micro-cosmos! A water drop is suspended and confined in the hole of a 50¥ coin to observe microorganisms and compare them to the size of the coin. Turning the coin into an aquarium for microbes. The surface tension of water is squeezing the drop into a flat disk. The surface of the drop is acting as its own glass wall. This is a unique opportunity to merge macro and micro in one shot! The green balls swimming about are called Volvox. It is a multicellular green alga commonly found in ponds. The long, white, wormy microbe is called Spirostomum ambiguum and consists of one single cell. It can contract to about 30% of its original size within milliseconds and is very likely the biggest unicellular ciliate on earth.

Thank you zefrank for finding this gem of a channel.
yeee
Thank you so much! That is a motivation bomb!
Good lead Ze Frank! Thanks! Great micro-photography!
Glad you enjoyed it
Your channel, to me, is where science and art intersect. Lovely. Thank you for making my world a more interesting, more beautiful place.
Thank you so much! Much more to come. :)
I came here because of zefrank's video, so happy I found another amazing channel!
Awesome! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful.. thank you my friend, i needed to see this today.
That means a lot to me!! Thank you!
This video (along with all your other work) is soo beautiful. I absolutely love this 😍
Putting this one in the Frank-Bank. 👻
Lovely work.
Thank you so much!!
there's 35,000 songs in the catalogue linked in the description, what track is this? it's beautiful.
It is called: From Stardust - Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen
@@NomadicNostoc TYVM! That's a huge help!
ZeFrank sent me here. No regrets. I'll be watching more as you come out with them
Thank you so much!! Welcome to my channel!!
Zefrank says hi
Thank you for coming by!!

- How are they microbes if they're visible to the naked eye? 🤔
- The Spirostomum are, um, not great, they look like parasitic nematodes. But the Vovox are pretty.
Microbes can be visible to the naked eye, they just can't be easily visible to the naked eye with 20/20 vision. There are plenty of people with superior vision who can see larger microbes without aid. Amoebas for example are often the size of a period (.) in small text, but because they, like many microbes are also semi-transparent, seeing them without a magnifying glass or microscope is difficult, but not impossible, especially in a drop of water (which causes some magnification by itself).
Some microbes are so big they are at the intersection between visible and invisible. Like Spirostomum. It is a single cell but several times bigger than some multicellular creatures.
@@NomadicNostoc Also there are species of single cell algae that live in the red sea that are the size of baseballs.
You can make a makeshift microscope with your hands
first put two of your fingers together .
put a drop of water between the space of your fingers
then use a very bright flashlight
using your eyes concentrate on the space between your fingers till it becomes gray and white then concentrate on the little white circles and vola you're seeing into the micro cosmos
это не микробы)
Volvox is a Microbe.
greetings from @zefrank1
nice channel, insta sub
