I don’t know if you need to do a livestream or not, I can take them or leave them but I do like this form of video. Free form, unscripted, feels like we are sitting there with you as you explore. This was fun.

@terrybennett8692 3 года назад

Great Idea Oliver, I have to tell you, that when I was thinking about buying a microscope, your channel and video`s really helped me, and I thank you so much for that, I even managed to put some microscopy video`s on my RU-vid channel, of water samples taken from my pond so thank you for helping me with this wonderful hobby.

@lorettasiegrist9334 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for identifying the microscopic organisms found in water. I bought a used but nice compound microscope for $30 at a garage sale. I'm getting more enjoyment from microscopy since I follow you now on RU-vid. My grandkids will be amazed after we take water samples from the local water sources and now we can identify what we see because you named the microbes. Thank you for your many helpful videos. It makes it easy to understand how to get the most from microscopy.

Thanks for identifying the specimens. I have been trying to find a good "field guide to microorganisms for beginners" and this is a good starting point. And now that I have finished watching the whole video, I'd like to say that I think it was one of your best! Please do more like this, Oliver!

@1mcob 3 года назад

Awesome! I love this format. It's like going on an exploration / adventure with a guide. It's very instructive to see what a real time / real life microscope experience is like. I think it would be helpful to include sessions like this once in awhile, perhaps with different sample types - or not! (Water samples are wonderful and ever changing ecosystems to explore!)

@tubepkn 3 года назад

I like this style as well. It was very informative, not only the biology talk, but also the way you made the slides and operated the microscope. It looked very much like when I look through my own microscope: the detritus, the rotifers, the difficulty of keeping these critters in focus or even in sight, etc. And messing up a slide or two! Of course your microscope and camera are way better than mine so it looks much better, but it gives me confidence. I had never heard about the "vitalism" versus "mechanism" debate, and it is these kinds of tidbits that can make a video really interesting. Whether it is a big question like "what is life?" or "the difference between one rotifer and the other", it doesn't matter. I like it when I learn something new and it doesn't have to be a life changing idea. I think I will go out to the pond in the park tomorrow to get me fresh samples!

I loved this video, walking through the process of finding these microbes was very enlightening. It would be nice if you could also identify the extraneous things in the field, eg the plant cells etc., and if you could describe the microscope setup before you begin' You have inspired me to take up this hobby once again in my 70s. Well done, keep up the good work.

Love it Oliver! You did a very entertaining discovery of water microbes, I assume freshwater. I am really entrigued by Dinoflagellates and I heard you mention them. Have you done a water sample on a saltwater reef tank? I would love an episode on microbes found in reef aquariums in the home, I would be able to get you a lot of subcribers from the forums that I frequent. Dinoflagellates have been recently showing up in reef aquariums and causeing a lot of destruction in the sense that the multiply and get all over the corals and sandbed and fish gills. So, having you narrate your findings and educating us on them, would be priceless.

@abdullahnezar2801 3 года назад

About those round circular structures, I think they could very well be cysts (perhaps of vorticella?). Before I had many vorticellae and then they mostly disappeared. At that time, I also discovered many of round circles of the same texture that look very much like yours. Also, maybe most of the vorticella in your water sample encysted to form these structures due to unfavourable conditions.

@nazimabbas5620 2 года назад

@Nickanoor Год назад

Hey, love your videos! What attachment do you use for your Canon?

@emmanuelblieck4826 3 года назад

I'm just guessing but, those round structures may be rotifers' eggs. I have occasionally spotted similar structures in samples where there were a lot of rotifers. When you occasionally add water and maintain the slide for a day and if you are lucky, you can finally see some of the eggs moving inside. Sometimes I didn't even had to wait. I couldn't get to see a definitive birth until now, but after observing these things I could figure out that it were rotifer eggs. You can eventually even see the forms of the digestive system forming, mastax, gastric glands etc... Those round structures in your sample look very similar to what I saw.

I have also noticed this too - sometimes you can see something moving around inside, and I suspected they may be rotifer eggs. Would be really cool too film one hatching!

@arvetis 3 года назад

I'm interested in what your software setup is for recording sound and microvideo at the same time. I use ToupView to record through my microscope, but I can't figure out how to record from my microphone at the same time and combine that with the microvideo.

@Microbehunter 3 года назад

I use OBS Studio (free). This combines webcams etc. It might be that the microscope camera is not recognized as a webcam (might only work over Toupview). In this case you can capture the window where Toupview displays the microscopic image. Alternatively you can use Active presenter (also free) to record your screen and sound. For live streaming OBS Studio is suitable, but it also records videos. For doing screen caputres, use Active Presenter. You can also record sound separately and then combine it with the video in a video editing software, such as DaVinci Resolve (free again). There are several possibilities and you have to find the system that works best for you and for the things that you want to do.
