Okay, so I'm in my first year in the university, first semester and in Biology, we've carried out about four practical graded 10 marks. Now, viewing the onion cell under the microscope was one of our practical and, although, I'm the top student in the year, I had a bit of challenges trying to peel off the thin one-cell layer of the onion bulb. In our group, I was chosen the group leader and the only thing I could do was to use my nails to actually peel off that thin layer, which was hard and also, not uniform. We were timed and finally, I got that thin un-uniform layer out and viewed it under the microscope. We then drew the cell and submitted. Luckily, we secured a 9.5 but, I really wanted a 10. But when I came across this video, I learnt the perfect way to peel off that thin layer uniformly and.... It was awesome!! Thanks for this wonderful video. Sure did change my life. NICE JOB!!!😉😉😃✔✔
I remember doing onion skin when I was at school - but I don't recall seeing any transport going on. Maybe we didn't have the magification. Now with my SW350T setup I can repeat this experiment. Incredible: the mechanics of life in action! Thanks Microbehunter for showing the way so brilliantly!
@@motorindicator5333 99.9 % jains are pure vegetarians, might be that .01 % mischeifs are available who eat non veg and spoil our jain religion's name..
@Motor Indicator you're right, everything in this world has a life.. But we can't expel everything because if we do so, we will be expelled soon from this life. Now talking about onions, potatoes, mushrooms etc, these all have infinite cells in it aka living beings.. Whereas, other fruits and vegetables will have single or multiple cells but not infinite.. So while eating a potato one is eating Millions of cells at once and since one's eating S/he killing them as well. wheareas, a bottlegaurd or a tomato will have few cells in it.. So Jains would prefer eating a tomato over a potato because it has less cells. One can't stop eating but we can definitely minimise it and avoid veggies with infinite cells. Now, why not ground-root vegetables..? It's because when it's plucked from the soil a lot of tiny living beings are plucked along with it.. Which later results them to die. Hence we avoid. One of the main principles of Jainism is non killing and we went deep into it and tried not to kill microbes also those which aren't visible to our naked eyes. This is very basic. Your curiosity will teach you a lot.. And I hope you learn and understand it : )
Jain people dont have onion nor any vegetables grown under the ground for the 1st principle of jainisum Ahimsa ( non - violence )we even follow this for the bacteria that are not even visible to our naked eye. Long live Jainisum😍#proudjain
Nopezzz these microbes are only found in underground veggies or rooted veggies, These microbes doesn't exist in non rooted vegetables which can be consumable. All these things have described very well in Jainism about what to consume or not without harming other millions of living beings.
This Our Jain God Bhagvan Mahavir swami told 2600 years ago, that infinite living insect are inside root vegetables like onion, potato, garlic etc (कंदमूल)
Wonderful video that shows what great exploration can be done with a simple microscope, cheap adapter and a smartphone! Great motivation to get involved. I like how you use simple language to describe what we're seeing, but then drop the formal terms now and then. This helps to set expectations and also to leave teasers for further research (Wikipedia).
thanks for a great video, I have been Covid quarantined in a hotel for 14 days and finally got some onion in my lunch fresh enough to see moving organelles. and yes they do march up and down. :-) rgds Pete
The cell wall of a plant cell is made of cellulose. The cell wall is outside the cell membrane. The nucleus (inside the cell) is surrounded by two membranes. Membranes are made of phospholipids and proteins.
Is cellulose, phospholipids and proteins transparent or opque? Sorry for stupid question. I couldn't find anywhere. If you have idea, could you please share with me.
Because they are so thin, they appear transparent. This is why you can look into the cells. They might have a different refractive index, however. And then it will scatter light so that it might appear a bit opaque if the layers are very thick. This is the reason why you can not see through an onion. Frozen water (ice) is transparent. Air is transparent. But snow (which is a mixture of ice and water) is not transparent (too thick). Same for foam (water and air) and clouds (water droplets and air). All of them transparent at a microscopic level but different refractive indexes make them appear opaque.
@@Microbehunter Thank you so much. Now I understood why we can view cell wall clearly with brigh field microscopy but can not view cell nucleus in onion cell. Only via straining onion cell, we can see cell nucleus.
Wow! I got my microscope few weeks from now and as soon i saw this viedo i tried if it will work, and ot did! My microscope is not that proffesionall, but still when i filmed timelapse i could see hundereds of tiny dots moving in cell! Thank you so much for this lession, keep it up!
Very sick video mate. I've just bought a 2x or 5x-1200x digital microscope with a 10 inch 2k display, but the main thing I'm worried about is the zoom, I'd like to see as much as possible, if my microscope indeed can go 1200x will this be enough to observe like in the video? I don't know what can be seen at different magnifications, thank u
I am a sixth standard student. I saw it first time. It is very interesting and it made my science very easy. I want to give a big thanks for this video. 😃
isnt the the water getting sucked up by the cells what happen if u dnt use water and look under the scope with no water then add water to see if the move
Great!! Thanks for agreeing!! This is the reason jainism prevents eating food like this including potato and other underground veggies. Can you post a similar video of potato?

Not only onion, we can see same behaviour in all underground vegetables (like Garlic, potato, beet, etc), as they contain infinite number of living organisms in them. With due to respect to other living beings, it's better to avoid consuming underground veggies 🙏
@@blainefiasco8225 yes, the difference is an apple or a tomato has only one discrete living being in it but an piece of onion or potato has infinite number of living beings

@@Microbehunter thanks for the response. May I ask, if you could see something similar with pretty much any compound microscope - why did you choose this one?
Most of these organelles are too small or too transparent to see. One might be able to label some of them using fluorescent antibodies and then do fluorescent microscopy to make these visible, but this is advanced stuff. Most organelles have been studied using electron microscopes. Green chloroplasts can be seen quite well, though. Ribosomes can be seen with an electron microscopes as small dots, due to their small size.

Sir this is tremendous please update more videos for class 11 experiment under electron microscope
Wow gotta try this!!!
So very cool!
Great channel,
Is it really one cell thick?? It looks a lot thicker. But I guess cells can be different sizes and these must be quite thick. Or am I being thick.
yes because all plant cells have a very thick wall unlike animal cells
Are you concerned about the osmolarity of the water that you use for the slide?
Sir we can add methylene blue to the onion peel
Yes methylene blue will also stain onion cells (stains DNA). Add methylene blue and then rinse briefly in clear water to remove excess stain.
got any tips on working with drosphila for genetics?
Actually there are standardized methods on how to breed them. Never worked with Drosophila myself.
It's too good vide👍👍👍👍👍
Couldn’t make it for my onion cells practical and and felt very bad. But this vid has been helpful and informative
Had a question...if the onion (taken out of the plant) is dead...then how come the organelles are moving?? it's a non living thing now?
The individual cells keep on living for a time.

It's an Olympus CH40, a conventional bright-field microscope. You can see something similar with pretty much any compound microscope.
@@Microbehunter thanks for the response. May I ask, if you could see something similar with pretty much any compound microscope - why did you choose this one?
I bought it in 1998 and at that time this one was the only one that was available with this quality.
I knew you were using Open Camera! 😍 lovely videos. Never seen this before on a onion skin. Our microscopes were just at most 4x zoom.
It has some features that I consider absolutely essential, such as the ability to adjust and fix exposure time and focus.
4x? That’s like a magnifying glass
you are wrong those bubbles are just floating ontop or under the cell.
Can someone point out to me, when he used the HPO magnification? i have to draw it, thank you.
Moving cells are parasites?
Can u show coriander leaves of different climate ( summer and rainy) it is said that the no. Of organisms present changes in those climate .
