Join hosts Hank Green and Deboki Chakravarti as they take you on a fascinating, reflective journey through the microcosmos. With music by Andrew Huang and footage from James Weiss, we'll take a dive into the tiny, unseen world that surrounds us!
The part around 7:58 where you say "The way we talk about science makes it feel like we're done" is one of the best lines I've ever heard! Great video!
Oh I’m happy to be reminded that James lives in Poland. I think it’s great for such video as we have such distinct seasons (despite not having true cold winters since I stopped being a kid..)
Darkfield seems to represent what they'd look like if we were able to see things as small as them, but darkfield has downsides. Darkfield gives you an amazing perspective, but it's lacking in overall detail (except for outstanding contrast), and everything produces some amount of glare, including anything out of focus that appear as glowing light spots. Dust is a big problem with darkfield for this reason. And the glare problem gets worse the higher the magnification. I also don't think it's even possible with objectives stronger than 40x (400x total magnification), most can't it to work past 10x since it requires a perfectly centered condenser. If I had to live with just one, it would be good old brightfield which seems to be the best balanced for overall use and it's very easy to use as well. And I like oblique illumination for trying to see the tiniest details myself, that's how I have been able to spot bacteria flagellum.
I've been following changes in a local pond, and it'd not just seasonal changes. I see changes from year to year and sometimes from week to week. There's a lot going on that I don't understand.
the two temperate seasons of spring and fall are the other two temperate seasons locked in combat with each other, on this world that is changing every minute of every day.
Really interesting episode. James reminds me of the gentleman scientists of previous centuries who studied what interested them for decades and published their reports. Science owes much to them!
So glad to see you continue content as you close out your channel. I just started my Microscopy channel after years of wishing I had time! Im still super tiny but thank you guys for all your hard work and great content...inspirational :)
I have two sets of three word. 1: Here is Hank? 2: So not watching. 1 + 2 = thumbs down, sorry James. Where's Hank? I don't watch these when Hank is not at this post and I strongly belive that there are many more like me out there. Hopefully all that read this and agree, will not be afraid to have their voices heard by liking this post. It's not just for me and the others, IT'S ABOUT THE CHANNEL FOLKS.
I love Hank too, but Deboki is cool. Maybe try new experiences every now and then dude. Hank is only one person, he can't do everything. And it's nice to have other people invoved. (Also this isn't about the channel, it's very clearly about you).
I watch for the information; who is delivering that information is inconsequential. Honestly if it would save the channel, I would be fine with them handing it over to another microscopy team.
