  • Imagine that this is the beginning of the last thing you’ll ever see, an empty landscape with thin lines scratched across it. But those lines suddenly sharpen and gather into a dense mass that spreads from the crown that sits atop a giant, studded with greens and yellows. A giant that is in search of one thing: food.

    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.

      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.

    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!!!

    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)_

      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.

      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.
