I've always been fascinated by science, but I was a liberal arts student in college. In high school, our biology class didn't encompass this stuff. Thankfully, I had an earth science subject for two semesters in college which introduced me to the microcosmos. Those were one of the very best times of my college life. The volvox was my most favourite thing to hunt under the microscope. Anyway, thank you for this fascinating video sharing tips on how to determine microbes.

I love this channel so much. And with so many species, known and unknown, you have an endless supply of video topics. So keep making them till we're all old and grey!

Dear James Weiss, Thank you, for all the footage of these magnificent critters. Your labor of love has always been the bright point of my Tuesday. Cheers, mate.

aw!!! instant subscribe! i love the way you expressed it being an art and labor of love to study this field. xoxo 💓

I watch your videos when I’m having a panic attack, or after. It always helps me to calm down and I can learn something new. Thank you

Cheers to identifying biology! Its part of the reason I love botany and Mycology, finding the name is like solving a mystery.

Thanks to this channel I've learned more about the microcosmos than I ever did in school. You provide a calming, informative, and beautiful spectical to behold and learn. Don't ever stop investigating, teaching, and inspiring.

Many thanks to James for sharing his ongoing interest in the many beings and events of the Microcosmos. It’s a beautiful series that is undoubtedly made with great love and expertise.

My siblings and I pitched on a microscope for my mother for xmas, partly inspired by this series. However, it was also partly inspired by a geology course I took once where we identified minerals in thin sections with polarized light. Was just wondering if you'd ever consider doing a mini mini series on them or even a video? Super interesting and beautiful stuff.

What's it like to record the voice overs. I'm imagining you sitting over your microphone, looking at a picture of your grandma and trying to explain it to her. I love it. It's so peaceful and nice ^^

Thanks James and everyone else involved in this channel

You are are incredible. Love this channel. Hands down my favorite.

I actually loved it. I hope there's more :)

Beautiful as always......thank you so much.

I have looked everywhere for a video, books or images that will tell me what micro organisms I'm looking at under my microscopes. This is the best one yet!

Since young I've enjoyed our little friends, but ever since I've entered college I've been having some problems with microbiology. However, these videos are a great help! And they're interesting aswell. Keep up the great work! :)

Awesome video. Love your channel. I learn so much.

Thank you for all you do

I love your voice with the nice images Hank :)

So peaceful and beautiful! 💞😍

This is as good as David Attenborough on BBC! 😙🥰 Science to its most wonderful effect! Thank you! ❤️

Hank, just wanted to thank you for ASMR educational content. You said in another video, you don't really get ASMR, but given this series, yes, keep up the good work. I hope for many more sleep filled nights with this playing on my computer.

Awesome to hear mention of genetic sequencing to identify bacteria. I'm part of a project that focuses on some of this work. :)

Thank you for taking me along with you into the lab for training. Respect

Amusingly, the very first microbe you showed was one that I unexpectedly stumbled upon in botany class. It was not meant to be in the sample, and my professor could not identify it beyond positing that it was an animal. Now I have a slightly more specific name. So thanks for your help with a years old mystery.

Love this channel thank u♥️

Those jelly like bacterial flocs are interesting. They have different colours, shapes, size etc. How about a video on those?

I bought a beginner microscope because I love to watch your videos.

I know how to identify the bacteria approximately. The bacterium has two names. One points to its shape and the other to its name. such as Bacillus Megaterium. Unfortunately, its name cannot be as easily established, but its shape is already a different pastry. Bacteria have basic forms. For example, Bacillus is the stick shape, Coco is the round shape, and Spirillum is the twisted shape. There's more to it, but these are the ones that make its name roughly. Hope I could help a little. Have a nice day.

James is the man. Thanx James.

That crinkly rotifer at 4:41 is stunningly captured. It seems to have depth while still being in focus, so that you can see the folds of its kind of brittle seeming skin.

I grew up staring in wonder through a microscope at things I found in pond water.... Thank you.

Is inspired me to take bioligy as a dream and I was truly facinated when i saw the first video of blepharisma and the Legendrea microbe it helped me to do my reasearch! Thaank you!

Love your channel... But i gotta say if I can't sleep I put a playlist of your videos on.

Thank you very much. beautiful

This might sound dumb, but if you ever encounter that kind of situation where it could take you a year of time to know what you are looking at, have you ever tried crowdsourcing? There's a lot of really passionate fans and biologists on various social media sites who would gladly help you identifying any material/picture/video you upload there, just for the sake of adventure. It's really awesome to see or participate on such a quest, truly a wonder.

Good work guys I really enjoyed it can u please tell me what kind of microscope do u use ?

Wunderbar ! ;-)

sending samples to a university lab for genetic analysis might be more feasible than you think. the technology is much more accessible than it used to be, and you might be able to find undergraduate classes who would want to use it as a project so they can learn the technology.

Mind blown once again.

But... your narration is a huge part of the draw of this channel! Additional narration would be another prized Patron benefit!

I love your videos I have seen every single one of them. I've never been so amazed by micro organisms. Hank I love your narrations.

While my FB friends share baby Platypus's that are actually stone carvings, i'm on the net looking for stuff like this. Thanks for using the net Hank, thanks for being here and giving us these kinds of things.

Microbiology is has very complicated chemistry in it. You would be surprised by what can be done with silicon, and it's much easier to work with. It's also a lot less temperature sensitive. But maybe combining silicon and bio chemistry can be used for interesting things?

0:00 literally THAT was what I was trying to identify... thanks LOL

Any chances of a video on microscope setup slide preparation etc?

I don't think I'll be getting a microscope in the foreseeable future, but this channel's videos are always interesting

Telling the difference between cells and little organelles seems like the most maddening kind of hassle.

Given their short generation times and massive numbers it is amazing there really are such things as identifiable species in micro organisims Some people say there aren't real species, or rather that the concept does not really apply to bacteria. I am pretty confident that every permanent water body has a few unique protozoa species.

heyr very nice channel and content thank youu

Loveit! Is all this 3D action taking place on a slide and under a glass slide cover? (the tardigrade footage...?) How thick is a film of sample water under a glass slide cover?

Have you ever thought about uploading stills of your microscope captures without the measurement and name of the species somewhere for downloading as wallpapers?

Identifying microbes is easy for me because I pretty much see the same thing every time: paramecia. Big ones, little ones. Just paramecia. I'm always impressed by, among other things, the wide variety of types of microbes you find here.

Have you discovered any new species of microbes in finding specimens for this channel so far? If not how likely is it that you ever will?

Hey guys! I am a student and just before my A-Levels. I ´m really getting intersted in the Microcosmos and thus wanting to buy a Microscope. Now, I´ve seen your Video on your mic. but it´s just out of my price range(400-600 €/£/ $). I also really like the dark-field microscopy so having an option to "upgrade" the microscope is relatively important too. I would really love some feedback on wich mic. I should look at. Many thanks in advance :).

HELL YEAH MICROB

This channel makes me want to upend my life and spend the rest of it looking through a microscope... mind you PBS SpaceTime makes me want to do the same for a telescope
