Can You Name These 30 Common Items?

The world through a microscope is a strange and wonderful place. Everyday things reveal new and amazing properties when examined by some of the world's most powerful microscopes. Here is a collection of images of things we contact every day. How many do you recognize?

[@monachopsis8050]

Thankyou for not trying to sell me something and actually showing me something really cool

[@forrestdrury833]

I have come to the conclusion that no, no I cannot name 30 everyday items under an electron microscope.

[@rnreajr9184]

You have to watch this video on a smartphone from across the room.

[@jumpyvids6401]

I'm never walking on grass again without thinking of that horrifying image

[@collint]

Now I will never forget the innocent smiles I have crushed

[@aubreyackermann8432]

Those faces are xylem and phloem tubes. All monocot plants have them in cross sections.

[@dillontsang3310]

OH GOD

[@HealthCareWithDrWaris]

499# nice video 🤝👈🌹🌹🌹👍

[@billrichardson6620]

This might be an ad but I like it. It’s not pushy or trying to sell you something... just showing you cool images

[@NEDDYVIDS]

Thanks Bill - I love science and hate ads. So I decided to make some cool science vids and promote them as ads just to share them. Hope you liked it.

[@viviangalleher124]

I didn’t even realize that it was an add, I just thought it seemed cool.

[@aliteralsliceofbread]

@@NEDDYVIDS carefully, hes a hero

[@weeewooo467]

0:42 I thought they were pocky’s for a second

[@dassnek4728]

Aren't these all artificially colored?

[@NEDDYVIDS]

Yes they are colored. Electron microscope create the images by scattering electrons off of things versus looking at light magnified reflecting off of something. It allows this amazing clarity, but only comes out in shades of grey. False color is added to different elements to highlight the different elements in the scan for non-scientist (like me). Plus it makes them look cooler.

[@dassnek4728]

@@NEDDYVIDS yeah I just remembered that fact from a book I read way back in 6th grade, lol.

[@kowanwolfe815]

Now imagine,
Every time you walk on grass, you are squishing
*Millions of tiny smiling faces*

[@solarflea4115]

Wood, Velcro, cotton, sand.
Couldn’t name anything else

[@jaccuster8258]

StuftRock1 nice, I didn’t get Velcro

[@jonswaen7458]

We should blow this up for being the first ad to not try and sell something

[@The_Mimewar]

I tried so hard. The algorithm is getting close....

[@kowanwolfe815]

I didn't see this as an ad, but even if I had, I probably wouldn't skip it :p

[@jakkulous]

This is a really cool ad

[@bubbernub651]

Whoever took the angles and colored these made them all look like sick abstract art pieces. Id frame some of these

[@soul-od8ug]

So, theres this happy little grass blade an i apparently killed it. im a monster

[@yeahyeahyeah5089]

I got guitar string right 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@eddieroche6082]

Scientists: With electron microscopes, we can explore the microscopic environments all around us.
Also scientists: ***a e s t h e t i c***

[@sarahstewart7680]

My mind has been blown...

[@-parp-]

Awesome video!! Literally my mind got blown today.

[@camih1715]

Oh my god the grass tho 😆😆

[@tryhrds1915]

Great screen savers

[@ethanrburdick]

Yeah got this as an add but where did you get these images from did you do this yourself

[@NEDDYVIDS]

I got them from a number of science websites and image galleries. Unfortunately, I don’t have the $300k I would need to buy one myself.

[@jesusdiscipledon1499]

I got 2 right!
Sand. Toothbrush.

[@alpharomeo8954]

I got about 7 things. I’m proud of myself.

[@jonathansalazar7354]

Cool ad! I got to play around with one of these in my undergrad. Really shatters your perspective of things. Was looking at a sample until I realized it wasn't the sample it was a spec of dust around 20 microns wide

[@marcellabutay1090]

the green shell shaped things in the pollen look like smallpox lol
also I'm glad people didnt dislike the video just because it is an ad, thanks for sharing

[@ecec6852]

Bob, Steve, Rick, Jerry, Paul, and Harvey.

[@markfrench8892]

Fascinating, but what was the music used in this video?

[@AJLord]

I got Wood Grain and Snowflakes.

[@elijahfedotov3203]

A yes tequila, I use it everyday

[@theonlynull]

Best ad!

[@zekereid8791]

I’m convinced youtube is listening to me, this was in my recommended after talking about electron microscopes in my physics class. (Really cool video though, the only ones i got were grass, snowflake, and guitar string)

[@emaleighschultz4828]

These all look like places I can’t afford to visit

[@jordanbarlow2097]

The only one I actually got was toilet paper

[@ellamcnulty1616]

I would use all of these as computer wallpaper

[@milfywilfy]

Bruh wtf this made me question my existence

[@natalie022]

GRASS HAS FEELINGS TOO!!

[@modulebot]

I guessed sand and velcro right. I thought the toothbrush was spaghetti though.

[@goodgaminggirl_2861]

TheOwnerOfSeaWorld I said pockys

[@Red-mo2uo]

1:23 chocolate cake is my favorite element

[@theallseeingegg]

“Everyday items”
Cake sprinkles

[@NEDDYVIDS]

At least I wish cake sprinkles were an everyday item

[@anyston]

im am never eating a pop tart ever again

[@skylerinscore5747]

I only got toothbrush and velcro because I've seen those two before 😂

[@rebeccakoch7107]

I got close to the toilet paper I thought it was tissue but that was it 😂

[@bagochips1208]

Im gonna just subscribe because this is interesting and also that you paid for an ad slot to show us cool images.

[@GoldStarLord]

I got sand and now I never want to walk on grass again

[@crabgal]

I was really confident, but I only got one right

[@bee1117]

Crab Gal which one did you get?

[@crabgal]

Smokey Bones6734 strawberry

[@bee1117]

Oh I got sand 😂

[@jumpyvids6401]

Why the banana look like somebody hidden chamber

[@melodya.5286]

I can only name sand

[@Lightbulb909]

I was only able to get chalk, but only because I’ve seen it elsewhere.

[@zacharyholmes2600]

I got one: snowflakes

[@shaneking4975]

I think I'm being held back... I got 0 right

[@henrymoonrabbit]

Nice ad

[@mediocreanimator]

1:07 ... is a banana?!

[@roscoe4092]

I was making pop tarts as they showed up...

[@Andrew-McCormick]

I got Velcro and salt&pepper

[@2ndairborneguy790]

A vinyl record glove is an every day item?

[@orangetopaz1385]

Im never eating a strawberry, chocolate cake, soy sauce(even tho Im IN LOVE with it), or poptarts EVER AGAIN

[@lobster9752]

Everyday items
Tequila

[@drakerueckemann9484]

1 out of 30

[@horsepowermultimedia]

1:03 looks like dirt track.

[@jasonl2916]

BAAAAAAAAAAD. I did horrible

[@Mae_Renneburg]

I like this ad

[@bobstevenson3130]

How do you look at tequila under an electron microscope like wtf

[@DanielJohnson-et2pz]

why is 1:51 an aesthetic

[@richsombie]

lol

[@CSpiderMan]

Excuse me ☝️ I have a question. Who actually knows what everyday items look like imaged in a microscope

[@ethanwagner6418]

I guess people that have seen the images already.

[@friendofmara7509]

Why does the background music have someone like smacking their lips every so often?

[@NEDDYVIDS]

Well, there is chocolate cake and pop-tarts, so why wouldn't you smack your lips??? ;)

[@andrewniessen8031]

1:06 what part of the banana is that

[@scribblemeeps]

I barely got 1 right

[@sorryrooster2120]

2 out of 30…

[@beccaangel7155]

0 out of 30..😂

[@mermaidenby6402]

I literally only got strawberry

[@trinitron384]

The banana one isn’t from a microscope

[@NEDDYVIDS]

Yep - I screwed up on that one. Should have double checked the source. Sorry for mislabel. Still a cool image though.

[@camerontunstall3243]

I got one sand

[@jordanwyatt9610]

Well you only gave me 1 second to look before giving the answer so id say i did pretty bad

[@asheralcantara1458]

I got literally one, and barely

[@yeshualionofjudah7107]

You mean through a microscope

[@ChloeRoestel]

Name of song?

[@NEDDYVIDS]

Called "In The Woods @ Night" from suttle-t-sounds - soundcloud.com/suttle-t-sounds/in_the_woods_night

[@notaweeb7936]

Why are the colors so weird?

[@the_moist]

Should of done a worm
No, not like that

Josi Burkemper stop, that meme died a year and a half ago

[@Demonetization_Symbol]

Some of these look gross.

[@Zaltic]

This looks like a reupload of someone else's content look at the scaling of the images

[@NEDDYVIDS]

I don’t have an electron microscope so, yes, these are images from a number of science gallery sites. I did do some of the false coloring of B&E images. Just wanted to create an interesting collection to share with people.

[@SteelProsGaming]

This is fake

[@CC.R0Y]

Looking at the dust picture just makes me uncomfortable for some reason
