I show you how to prepare fibers fir microscopy. Cheap wool often contains Acrylic fibers which do not biodegrade. These synthetic fibers can be easily distinguished under the microscope from natural wool from a sheep. Here I put different types of wool under the microscope. Specimen preparation is easy. All you have to do is put a small amount of cut wool on a microscope slide with a drop of water. Natural wool is thicker and has a surface texture. Synthetic fibers are much thinner.

This channel should have a lot more subscribers.

@Dockhead 4 года назад

absolutely, but what you'll find especially on youtube is kids attention spans cant even comprehend clicking on a video like this, and even worse is adults are just as inadequate. sadly Logan and Jake Paul are what triggered stimulation to the brain and not education or even just wondering and pondering about things.

@@Dockhead I agree with you... The only things the other kids in my school talk about is that dumbass fort night game🙄 sometimes I feel like I'm the only kid who watches educational videos I honestly dispise gaming videos and shit

I really enjoy your series! These are fantastic lessons and information to learn without the pressure of akademia, more precisely grades and the stress that comes with it. Now everything is more relaxed. I am studying Opera Singing at the Anton Bruckner University, finally away from the exactitudes of sciences and the 'punctiliousness' of linguistics; I'm now doing what I really love and what fits my character. It's now that I realize I've taken an interest in subjects taught in school, because I am free to choose what to learn myself... Funny! Please keep the videos coming, they're all great!

@Teejrocks83 4 года назад

Wool is a fiber type as is cotton or synthetics, technically you are discussing the contents of yarns... Even the sleeves from the skeins of yarn you showed the general idea of yarn marketing, the good companies will only sell their yarn as "wool" if it is mostly wool ingredients. I know this might be splitting hairs over the english language or it could be a Europe vs Canada thing. I guess another way to put it is that you use yarn to knit or crochet, and that yarn can be made from fibers of wool, plastics, cottons or any combination thereof. From another 30+ male who used to knit, sucked at crochet, and can still run a sewing machine pretty well... I think that the animal sounds porcine in nature... :-) oh, and Subbed...

You mentioned microplastic in rain. Could be a good experiment to see, how clean the rain in your region is. Edit: is it even possible to see microplastic with 40 or 60x?

@Microbehunter 4 года назад

Yes, this magnification should be fine.

@rahmath3305 Год назад

Can you show fiberglass, rock wool and other insulation materials under microscope. And also how it penetrates the skin and what happens if it’s breath in? I couldn’t find any video on RU-vid about it.

@emmanuelblieck4826 4 года назад

Originally it was an ecological idea to recycle plastic bottles and make wire with them. Well, now it comes to this conclusion that it then ends up back in nature and it's actually worse than the bottles. I am in favor of glass. People should look more into the microscope.

@justindie7543 4 года назад

You can't really win. Glass is recyclable but requires far more energy to melt and recycle, energy which in most places comes from fossil fuels.

@cristibaluta 4 года назад

Wrong title, not the wool itself is the problem but because they mix it with plastic to become stronger. I am buying a lot of merino wool clothes and they all get holes out of a sudden in a year or two, the ones mixed don't have this problem. So can't decide what is worse, wasting a lot of wool and money or mixing it so it can last.

@lucasqwert1 4 года назад

Mixing is worse in my opinion

Millions of household in the UK use synthetic carpets. We are eating as we speak the carpet. Not by choice, but inhaling the "dust" made of millions of small fibers floating in the air.

@TheHwiwonKim 4 года назад

Natural hairs of animals are called 'woolen'. You dont call synthetic fibers as 'wool'. You should type it synthetic fiber instead of wool. It is misleading.

@stop3tombs 4 года назад

Raising sheep for wool and the process of turning animals hairs into yarn is not nice for our planet or the animals either, maybe we should all stick to plant-based fibers

@phab2protango374 4 года назад

Wool is made from hair... So please get rid of your hair for the sake of the environment... The stuff you are cribbing about is synthetic fibre, acrylic fiber ... So stop defaming the real wool There is a Woolmark on clothing items to verify its wool content. So please change your clickbate title You only get a dislike
