Microbehunter

Small is beautiful! Join me in this fun and fascinating hobby!

I started this channel for two main reasons:
A. I want to get those people who do not know much about Microscopy and/or Biology interested in this hobby.
B. I want to give those who already have a microscope some motivation and observation ideas

My first name is Oliver and I have completed a University degree in research Microbiology/Molecular Biology. I work as a secondary school biology teacher, where I also instruct my students on how to use a microscope.

I have a website, a forum and also a second KZread Channel about microscopy:

    Life on Earth is miraculous in its ability to adapt and fill niches that may be left open by another organism. Let's take the dinosaurs for example. In a matter of a year after the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event. We lost roughly 75% of the species that were on Earth at that time. So, time wise the dinosaurs were lost in an instant, and over time the mammals came to dominate the Earth and take over the niches left open by the dinosaur extinction. Either humanity would die or adapt to the lack of microbes but eventually something else would fill the open niche.

    Very interesting podcast! Just a tiny clarification, corals polyps have a symbiotic relationships with dinoflagellates called zooxanthellae. And lichens are mostly a mutualistic relationship between an algae and a fungus, although sometimes the algae are indeed replaced by cyanobacteria (like Nostoc lichen). Just wanted to add these two points, but interesting talking points!

    Yes, I found the video interesting and a helpful foundation of useful data on why one's microbiome, once infected with parasites, tends to go on often, with only Complete or Partial Resolution. And: Because Whomever, does not or cannot differentiate the harmful from the helpful, if I understand this correctly: It does begin to sound, that We lack the ability to defend ourselves against certain bacteria and certain parasites. Opinion: In my opinion, People who become afflicted with a given malady or disease, Must have lived at a time, before the onset of disease symptoms, unless their ills are congenital. To develop better methods, We might identify perhaps a non diseased person with the subject disease, compare perhaps the blood and serum of both, Isolate the Potential subject offending agents known and tend to be responsible the subject disease, and so Effectively Treat the diseased patient until such time as their body returns to its otherwise normal state.

    Because pyrenoids are surrounded by starch, you might want to stain with iodine to make the starch dark

    Thanks for another good video. I did not know that the older "C" series of olympus had DIC option. Did you have to change condenser? I gather you coupled this with a DIC objective and Analyzer that goes specifically with the 40x? Could you PLEASE make a video on your DIC setup? Very very interesting, would be really helpful to see all the extra aprts that you purchased for DIC. Have been considering getting into this technique but I though my entry option was the BX41 (as used) which comes to over Euro10k....its crazy. And all the "mid point" microscope suppliers only offer this technique in their top models (eg Motic in PA53 only, Euromex in Delphi only) so you still end up with a Euro15k pricetag.....Also does the "C' series accept plan semi-apo objectives or are you limited to achomat series? I know you may have addressed these in part in other videos but would appreciate the recap. Again thank you for your content!!!

    I’m not sure if this is possible, but if there are other techniques that could be easily applied to increase the contrast (other than DIC), such as a stain or lighting filter, it might make an interesting follow up to this lesson.

    We have 20.000 genes, each gene can be on or off. I think the first cell has all the genes on. So the life of a cell is a path throught the set {0,1}^20.000 which is the set of all binary strings of length 20.000 and this path starts with a binary string with 20.000 1's. The taken path is influenced by neighbouring signals.
