In The Realm Of The Protists

In The Realm Of The Protists
Beneath the waters surface, in a realm beyond the human eye, live the Protists. Spectacular in beauty, scope and grandeur playing out their microscopic dramas in seemingly unremarkable pools of water. Set to a little piece of music I created for the film.
Location: Fagan Park, Galston Australia
Music: 'Beneath The Willows' by AUDIOTHRILLSEEKER

You can see protosoas with out a microscope.

[@protistlabfilms]

That's correct. The larger ones certainly and the smaller ones if there is a mass of them or a bloom but most cannot be seen with the naked eye individually.
As an analogy, seeing them as specks with the naked eye is the equivalent of seeing a bird far off in the distance as a speck, impossible to see any detail, features or beauty, just a speck.

2:47 is that just one organism? And does its inside seem like mixed because of eat a lot of things?

[@protistlabfilms]

It's one organism that has gorged itself on something large. Typically these ciliates fill themselves on the remains of larger creatures like worms etc. Judging by the contents, I believe this one has eaten from a dead a worm as there are a number of fatty inclusions.

These are some great shots! What microscope did you use to record them?

[@protistlabfilms]

Thanks, good to hear. I use an iPhone 8 to record. Microscopes used are Olympus BHB's and a BH-2

@@protistlabfilms Unreal images - do you have an NIC condenser or something else at play? Stunning images - well done and thank you! I would appreciate learning more about how you capture these images!

[@protistlabfilms]

@@MojoFilter No I don't have Nomarski in my tool kit. Polarised oblique illumination gives good contrast and resolution. I started using a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K at the beginning of this year.

[@protistlabfilms]

@@MojoFilter Do you like the music I made?

[@MojoFilter]

@@protistlabfilms Absolutely married to the visuals.. I have a few of my own videos with supporting music and commentary too.. Such a joyful and mysterious hobby to have!
