    Can you take a video of you desiccating them and rehydrating them again? I've heard they can survive extremely dry conditions. How about adding salt too?

    Do you know how many cells tardigrades and other micro animals have

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  4 роки тому +7

      Tardigrades are eutelic, this means that they retain the same number of cells within a species. According to Wikipedia, some species have over 40000 cells, while others have significantly fewer cells.

    Hi, have you got a video for beginners? For example, I don't know why you put a small square glass over the sample.
    I was very impressed with my £3,95 pocket microscope, when I show aphids and their babies, for first time that my husband brought me a student's microscope, but I don't know how to use it. I don't know we're here bought it that it didn't bring a instruction manual. Could you help me please! I am using samples from my patio. I have seen some of your videos but I cannot find one that show how to use it properly. Thanks. 🔬🔬🔬🔬

      The cover glass is there to make sure that no water touches the objective, that the specimen is pressed flat (otherwise organisms float in and out of focus vertically), that the surface is flat (water drop is bent), for optical reasons (the objective is designed so that there must be a cover glass for best image).

  • @Francois_Dupont
    @Francois_Dupont 4 роки тому +1

    how does Tardigrade reproduce? it is very strange! how big is a targigrade compared to a bacteria? you said they eat bacteria. is this like a whale that pump water and filter it inside of them to catch the bacteria or they can see them and eat only one at a time?

    You should cut the species in half, I wanted to see their blood

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  4 роки тому +11

      You will be disappointed: they have no blood and no circulatory system. Oxygen take-up occurs all over the body, so blood is not needed to transport oxygen.

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  4 роки тому +7

      Yes, becasue this is OK. These microorganisms don't do any harm. They will not grow on us becasue this is not their natural habitat.They are part of our natural environment. I would not eat the moss, though. It's all psychology. I always tell myself that the really disgusting things are not the microorganisms that we find in there, but the wastes that we humans produce. Plastic in the environment, chemical deposits, wastes released into the water, acid rain, radioactive waste etc, etc. The list goes on.

      @@Microbehunter That's really interesting you say that. That should be said in schools during dissections and such. I think what confuses me and what not a lot of people are aware of as much as we should be is human intervention in the environment. (good and bad). But, I think more and more people are understanding that we humans play a role in protecting the environment form ourselves every day.
      Thank you for your interesting content.

      Another interesting comparison: Sometimes we don't like to eat fruits that do not look very nice. There is a small spot somewhere on the surface. Of course one should wash them properly. But how often do we ask if the fruit is free of pesticides? We worry about the outside appearance and try to clean it, but the things inside it, that we can not see, often do not worry us, or the conditions in which they were grown. I sometimes have to remind myself of these things. About the dissection: Yes my students sometimes do feel disgusted, when we dissect things but I tell them that this is actually also food that we eat...
