Winning Microscope - Objectivity 108 

Keith, Brady et al. your glimpses into the Royal Society never cease to facilitate me. Some of the most interesting and enlightening videos on RU-vid. I thank you.

Keith's puns are amazing.

0:11 Keith lands the joke. 0:13 very pleased with himself here. 0:16 still thinking about it. 0:18 "My God, what have I done?" 0:20 "Oh shit, you're still here Brady"

Maybe the ad was a genius marketing ploy, only the best microscope makers would be abled and intrigued to read it.

The instrument is simply beautiful. But the box it came in is amazing as well. Brilliant design!

Bit of trivia. Allowing both eyes to be used when observing with a microscope almost doubles the amount of details one can see, due to the brain being able to combine and compare the two images and thus extract more useful information from them. It also makes observing much more comfortable.This also works with telescopes.

I would have this as the flagship episode of the channel. This is a hell of an object.

Brady: This is very heavy *groans* You were carrying it around like feather Keith! Keith: Yep B-) The swagger xD

Small advertisement, small prize, small number of entries. I imagine the records of the meetings are called seconds, and they served only miniature pastries and doll sized cups of tea.

Amazing video. The English and the various Royal and microscope societies are amazing. Wish we had more organized groups in the US.

Could it be possible to have a q and a with Keith?

[I put this comment in a box for your excitement]

Another good one. Worthy of Patreon support.

So beautifully done as always Brady, my favourite series on RU-vid starring my favourite librarian!

2:33 "I feel a disturbance in the Force. Like a million box fans nerdgasming at once!"

Oh man, this episode is definitely making it into the favorites list!

2:35 Lovely Brady-Moment.

At this point it's only a matter of time before we get a best of Keith's dad jokes video :P

Keith is always ripping my bass apart

Baden Powell is on the committee that established the competition, which is won by Powell and Lealand. What was the relationship between the two Powells?

Something about Brady's voice, makes me very glad to be a Tim.... (that's a shout out to the HI listeners!).

Is it possible that the RS would publish some nice photos of some of the instruments in its collection? I have some photos from a friend who visited a museum exhibit a few years ago that had a similar triangular frame but it was not the same as the one you have shown.

Nice haircut Brady :) (And don't think it's a coincidence that a related video is "6 sexiest men's hairstyles of 2017")

Hey, Brady - I think Fox News Channel may have taken inspiration (aka, "ripped off an idea") from this channel. They announced a new show this week hosted by Harvey Levin. The show is called "OBJECTified," and will feature famous people highlighting personal items and possessions as they give their life stories. But without you and Keith....the show is sure to be a failure.

I challenge you to find stuff related to Benjamin Banneker in the archives ! Ted-Ed just made a cool video about him ^^ He was born in 1731 :)

100 pounds in 1843 is just 11659.55 pounds today. Seems a bit stingy even just considering the sheer cost of manufacturing the lens and the microscope.

The Microscope Committee, the official committee of Objectivity.

Personally, I adore Keith's puns....

2:35 I've never seen Brady look so baffled.

wow the prize was 100 pound.i remember i painted a house for an old guy and he told me he remembered when back in 1915 a private group of contractors built the road from sandybay (hobart) to taroona for 100 pound!

Beautiful objects.

This scientifically triumphant microscope weighs as much as a kid!

Brady has been playing around with new film effects, hasn't he?

It would be nice to get video about Thomas Simpson. Linendraper who was member of The Royal Society.

Nice to see "objects" in objectivity again ;-) hehe

Ah Keith's puns X'D

AH YEAH! The sound of Brady coming across some microscope porn..

Brady didn't got the very small room joke.

Good film.

Wondering how large the magnification is.

Well, the offer of "deliver to us a microscope of our spec and MAYBE we'll buy it" probably wouldn't have been very enticing.

Does it still work? Would be nice to see some video footage filmed through the lense.

A microscope ad that you need a microscope to read... seems fair to me :D

I bet there is a record of the people the microscope was lend to. That would have been interesting.

I heard you liked boxes for your unboxing videos so I put some boxes in your boxes!

man I love brass

Got any hidden paintings in old books? Cornell University does.

It's pretty funny that that microscope was the only entry :-)

Keith told a funny :D

Brady, the hair product isn't working. You might want to reconsider. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy your work in all your channels.

Can't beat the Victorian obsession with Brass, can you?

how much would it have cost to make such in instrument at that time? seems like they would have spent more money making the thing than they got in the prize money.

Brady can we have 4k 60fps?

Seems to me that that microscope at the time cost a bit more than that. Its like a nobel prize in microscope. Not much bling but a great recognition.

Wondering if the generations of 2200's view these videos the same way we see these microscopes today. carefully kept, with the manufacturers name etched at the base.

Is that Baden Powell the father of the Baden Powell that founded the Boy Scouts?

information before the internet apparently didn't travel very quickly

That's a tiny font, not a tiny typeface.

Another cool object. But... Keith is a SWATCH wearer!

how can keith make a pun without changing his face

100 pounds for 100 pounds. Even trade.
