Received your microscope for my birthday on the 14th of January. I am....WAY more impressed than I thought I was going to be, and I thought I'd be super impressed by the tiny world before! You're right, the youtube footage can't begin to show how AMAZING the 3D effect of actually looking through your own microscope is. I've already collected multiple samples, and goodness I've seen so many moving critters! It's almost impossible to tear myself away, if I'm honest. It really is like peering into some mythical dimension of gemstones and wonder. I'm actually about to move from California to England, where I'll be living aboard a narrowboat and cruising the canals-- this gives me a fantastic opportunity to sample all along the routes. I'm buying myself a journal so I can note down locations and conditions and I'm going to catalogue as much of what I find as possible. Hopefully I'll be able to share my journey into the microcosmos too. Thank you for inspiring me to find such a wonderful hobby, and a new purpose in life.
First of all: they sell microscopes 🤩? Second of all: I hope you the greatest days and discoveries on your journey, what ever happens to you never ever give up this hobie and specially journaling it cus at the end , when you see all your data you have collected, and all of your adventures in the micro world, you will be the happiest 💐
@@fractale4322 Seconded! I hope you find a warm welcome in our country. I'm sure our many miles of canals will have something interesting to talk about. Just watch out for the Canada geese if they've got goslings; they love the canals, as well as being annoying.
@@ZoopsMind Thirded! I'm not the most into biology but the idea of seeing proof of just how many different microorganisms love in the different parts of the world is so very very interesting :) OP, PLEASE enjoy that microscope 🔬💕
"But we're getting away from our original topic." Good, that makes it more fun to learn. Sometimes things become more interesting when you learn more unrelated stuff about them.
It /should/ be possible to gather the required information by just sweeping the focus, but you'd need someone who can handle the truly horrific mathematics to turn that into a voxel image. You're looking at the most hellish of deconvolutions.
Great intro! Excellent episode, well as usual. If I had to introduce someone to this channel, this might be the one. I'm so happy these organisms are in fact, microscopic.
I believe it’s because about the micro world ,which doesn’t affect at any level,it only makes us aware about this … Unique,cruel,full of interaction and very difficult to interpret even for those who study for more than a century this branch of science …
Bizarre certainly it is,beautiful when understand more than only the surface ,but it is a fascinating sphere where I believe we only grounded with our small knowledge! Thank you again for this upload !
It's hard for me to think of life as being just a very complex variation of wind blowing through tree leaves, but then I hear the reliable anthropomorphic descriptions.
Having been introduced to microscopy while I was still in elementary school, (a Jason/Empire as I recall), I must say it was a _wonderful_ surprise to hit this channel by chance. As many microscope films as I've seen, I _still_ didn't know there was a microscopy version of Stanley Kubrick out there. The magic is in the details!!!
Collotheca responsible adult in the room: I'm thinking of eating in tonight. Collotheca family members: oh, er, um, youth club/visiting local unicellular pals/not hungry, off to gym🤭😱
There are other animals who eat their own and it is a surprising method of species survival. Then there are animals who will keep their clutch of eggs only a certain number, and to add one in only causes the mother to kick one out to return to the right number. There might be an optimum number of offspring so that nutrients can rightly be given to all. Too few, and the species might die out. Too many, and the species might overpopulate and starve. Given the opportunity where resources aren't limited and control of the family lies with the childbearing person, a human person would choose to have 2 or 3 children. In the 1970's, I believe I remember the average to be 2.38 children per family. (the .38 child only appeared in a fiction book, _The Phantom Tollbooth)_
Quick question - after I download this video in the English setting, the file is saved with a spanish audio track instead.....does anyone have an idea how this happened? No other YT channels have had this problem for me.
check the 'audio track' settings on the video and make sure you have the right one selected. most youtube channels do not have to worry about this because they do not provide audio in anything other than english.
From the scale refs in video, adult collotheca can be about 50 um (micrometers) across - roughly the same as a human hair. Their bodies also appear ~2-3x as long as they are wide. With enough contrast, it may well be possible to see something that size with the naked eye, though it'd probably be impossible to tell what you were looking at.
I'd love to know more about the species of rotifers that are all female. Honestly, I'd just love more rotifers. Remember in a vid talking about growing a fondness for certain microbes? Yeah, rotifers for me.
Hey I'm a physics major student but i really love your videos. Can you mark organisms with red circle or like in this video you are tell it's eating it's babies so which one is exectly baby 🐣 i couldn't identify.... So can you mark organisms.... thank You
Whoa I did not think these little dudes could reproduce sexually - is the male rotifer classified by the y chromosome or by his role in reproduction? edit: are those separable?
I love your channel...but, the Spanish version sucks! The voice has no personality, and no pause... The English female voice is great! Keeps the charm, the tone. Believe me in Spanish sounds just cheap.

You should follow up this comment with a blog link that follows you're journey, I'm a brit and I'd be curious to discover what you find!

I mean who hasn't eaten their own babies in a moment of weakness?
💀💀💀
Yes officer this man right here
I ate fetus soup
Kronos moment
I mean, it's called getting by... isn't it??
I recently discovered this channel and find it super fascinating, can't wait to see more content.
Adhd gaming
"But we're getting away from our original topic."
Good, that makes it more fun to learn. Sometimes things become more interesting when you learn more unrelated stuff about them.
Exactly 💯
The microorganism that took "A Modest Proposal" literally.
We tend to get a 2D view of this world! I can't wait for the day that the technology exists for us to view them in a 3d space!
3D microsoposcy...
I'm waiting for the day a 3d star map can be displayed.

@@ShadowWizard123 I'm pretty sure those exist already!
This stuff is so chill before bed 🤝
I was literally about to watch this channel by coincidence and then they uploaded that moment - wild
Great intro! Excellent episode, well as usual. If I had to introduce someone to this channel, this might be the one. I'm so happy these organisms are in fact, microscopic.
Good choice actually, this ep is a good one for someone to start the journey to this channel, the beginning of it is soo driving
Why is watching such violence so soothing and peaceful at this level?
I believe it’s because about the micro world ,which doesn’t affect at any level,it only makes us aware about this …
Unique,cruel,full of interaction and very difficult to interpret even for those who study for more than a century this branch of science …
We like violence, we need it to make our boring lives easier to put on.
Bizarre certainly it is,beautiful when understand more than only the surface ,but it is a fascinating sphere where I believe we only grounded with our small knowledge!
Thank you again for this upload !
I've watched so many journey to the microcosmos videos that Hank is now the voice in my head whenever I read through lessons in my bio class

2:06 In the lower right corner, the end of the strand of green algae looks like its hat came off.

YESS ANOTHER VIDEO BEFORE BED!!!

That's one funky looking bean.
A baby-eating-bean.
I cannot believe these beings are not sentient.
Gotta say I'm increasingly glad not to be a unicellular critter of any sort, haha
My grandma always used to say i was so cute she could "just eat me up". Now starting to think she was serious lol
My uncle used to say the same thing & I'm a girl
I gotta admit... I've thought about it myself a few times.
That's one beautiful but scary little world!
Spring Semester starts tomorrow for me, thanks for the entertainment today.
Imagine this captured on IMAX 70mm film
Rotifers are wheelie cool!
Always very fascinating content💚🦠🔬

Waw that's weird, hmmm have you tried to redownload it or download it from another account?

Babies ARE a great source of protein
How deep is the space between the slide and the cover?
"Gelatinous Safety Vest" would be a great name for a psychedelic rock band.
"Honey, wheres the baby?"...
* *burp* *
Good video to watch while eating dinner.
Microbes smart ok? Microbes know it's smarter to eat the baby than try to steal the baby's candy.
Would the Collotheca be visible to the naked eye or a regular magnification glass?
God, I hope not.
From the scale refs in video, adult collotheca can be about 50 um (micrometers) across - roughly the same as a human hair. Their bodies also appear ~2-3x as long as they are wide.
With enough contrast, it may well be possible to see something that size with the naked eye, though it'd probably be impossible to tell what you were looking at.
Awesome channel
That thing is HUGE lol
Compared to the fungi I examine - this thing is enormous!!
These are so similar to sea life
Thank you😋 an oll for the beautiful sharings😋
Oll injoy beïng🖖🌈🍀🌳🌻🌳🍀
"Perhaps it was a mistake".. Oups!
barnicles have alot in common with rotifers
It looks to me that some of the potential prey stole the bait and got away.
Awesome..
Can you show me what’s contained in a booger, or loogie?
Is it possible to do a time lapse of live plant cells moving within a plant? If so would you try it?
More Deboki!
She probably just had enough of her spawn’s whining.
I'd love to know more about the species of rotifers that are all female. Honestly, I'd just love more rotifers. Remember in a vid talking about growing a fondness for certain microbes? Yeah, rotifers for me.
3:15
A minute early?
_A minute!????_
I dont want to watch this in spanish I need original audio, help?
this was ASMR before ASMR was ASMR..
lil theca
The cilia around the mouth are so long!
Collotheca. Human. Same difference.
🙌🏽
So basically it’s Charybdis
Cool!
I love that the music in these videos reminds me of the music from Subnautica.
are you using the microcosmos microscope?
Very crab of them
Hey I'm a physics major student but i really love your videos.
Can you mark organisms with red circle or like in this video you are tell it's eating it's babies so which one is exectly baby 🐣 i couldn't identify....
So can you mark organisms.... thank You
🌮
Mmm, tasty babies.
Whoa I did not think these little dudes could reproduce sexually - is the male rotifer classified by the y chromosome or by his role in reproduction?
edit: are those separable?
Rotifer, "Imma eat mah babies! Nom nom nom nom!"
WEF, "This seems sensible..."
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!
Kinda sus 🤨
Pésima traducción
The default dub is Spanish?
they are just woke and a bit ahead...
I love your channel...but, the Spanish version sucks! The voice has no personality, and no pause... The English female voice is great! Keeps the charm, the tone. Believe me in Spanish sounds just cheap.
Pois é, a dublagem está horrível!!! MELHOREM!!!
Like the video, scripts just get cringier with every episode.
A cool video that didn't try to promote that evolution pseudoscience. Good one, JttM.
