Water microscopy: microbes you can find (maybe the longest water microscopy video on YouTube) 🔬 184

In this video I show you not only some water samples under the microscope, but I also explain the characteristics of life. Over 40 Minutes of water microscopy to celebrate 40K subscribers!

    I really like this style! It’s like going on a microbe safari!! Also really enjoy the biology talk. It’s actually really relaxing and enjoyable to watch. 🙂

    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.

    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 KZread channel, of water samples taken from my pond so thank you for helping me with this wonderful hobby.

    My UNCLE WAS A CHEMIST,VERY HIGH IN SCHOOLING ALMOST FAMOUS...I BELIEVE MY MOTHER SAID, SADLY I CAN'T ASK HER SHE RECENTLY PASSED,AND SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO WOULD'VE KNOWN,IT WAS HER BROTHER....SO I KNOW THATS WHERE I GET MY FASCINATION IN THIS FROM👍🙏💯‼️ONLY ME OUTA SIX KIDS!!😂

    Greetings to all! Worrying about Rotifers is just as interesting as other microanimals of the microcosm! Especially when they are feeding, at 400x they look like an airplane with 2 propellers!

    Life is both mechanistic and vitalistic-material and spiritual.

    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 KZread. 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.

    I agree ! It's like sitting with you live exploring. Try to identify everything we see. Like the fast moving little buggers cruising around.

    That was excellent, Oliver. Even if you decide against 'going live', please produce more of this kind of 'semi-live' output. It's very involving and most enjoyable. Cheers 👍🏼

    Great video! An advantage of a live stream is that we can ask questions while you teach us more microscopy. Keep up the great video's!

    I’m really new to microscopy and enjoy your channel immensely. This video was very useful as an unedited source of your processes prior to the usual edited uploads. My equipment is fairly basic but it was great to see that it takes time to find interesting things even with more expensive kit. Keep up the great work!

    It is incredible the vortex that a tiny rotifer is able to create. Thank you for all you do.
