    Really nice video. Huge amount of effort went into making this i see. Even though you didn't use your microscope in the video, it was very interesting nonetheless. Thank you for never uploading a boring video. It's always informative, fun to watch and i always want to use my microscope after i'm done watching.

    Thank you! I had absolutely no idea just how small some of this stuff really was. Up to now I thought I was a relatively intelligent person but now I feel like an idiot. All the time you took with the print outs really made the difference!

    The type of effort put in to these videos, for basically just the benefit of others, kids etc.. is exactly the type of ethic that needs to be demonstrated by most mature adults.. kudos my friend!
    Unselfish sharing of knowledge for benefit of everyone is tough to find bc some parrot is always trying to take credit somewhere for someone else’s hard work.

    You know, this is very helpful. Not this video only, all your videos are a wealth of information. But this one helps me understand how small are things in comparison, and understand the limitations of my microscope, and WHY those limitations are there. It is not the same to observe small parts of animals, or bugs, than viruses. Makes it very real world and explainable.

    When I worked at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) in the UK, I visited their laboratory in Daresbury after they'd installed a new electron microscope. They were still testing it and I happened to see a TV screen with what looked like a bunch of grey table-tennis balls packed together in a regular pattern. I asked the technician what they were. She told me they were atoms. I came away somewhat dazed as I realised what I had just seen!

    if I buy a microscope to primary make digital fotos, does a phototube 100:0/0:100 is better than a 50:0/0:50? I thougt as ... 100/0 lets more light passing through and taking pictures more easy. What should I know about this different types of phototubes?

  • @michaeldestefano7671

    Accidentally happened on your film . Excellent ! Digressing , have you looked at electronic integrated circuits ? Eproms are a good place to start , as they have a quartz glass window for erasing data from the memory cells , & it's quite easy to view with a stereo 'scope . Other chips need to be carefully broken open . Some of the ceramic packages can be opened by holding one half in a vice , then seperating the top with an old wood chisel .

    Another way you can visualise how small an atom is is to think of the radioactive source in a domestic smoke alarm. This is made of americium-241, whose atoms are much larger than most. There is only a tiny speck of it; it is expensive. The label on mine says its activity is 33 kilobecquerels, which means that 33000 atoms of it are popping each second. The bits that fly off them stick to any smoke particles that are present, causing them to be attracted to an electrode as a current that can be detected. Yet there are enough atoms in the tiny speck to last several tens of years at the rate of tens of thousands every second.

    It occurs to me how useful it would be if slide covers could be laser engraved with a measuring scale. Lasers can be pretty precise when it comes to making microchips so it must be possible -even if the scale just consisted of a row of dots at known distance from each other.

    lol now I know why the images take so long to load on your site. its because the image quality is amazing so much so you printed a fly in so much clarity in 1000x magnification. Bless you and thank you so much for putting all this work together helping us all understand the micro world. Question do you have a degree? I don't care if you do or not but I am curious, and low-key hoping you don't. You make learning fun and I think you should be a professor whether or not you have a degree as long as you are willing to have your class examined before actually giving lectures to students. But what im trying to say is I learned a lot from your videos and it was fun, college sucked and I wish I had professors who have real experience like you.
