can you imagine how excited and fascinated he must have been when he saw these organisms for the first time ? awesome video.

[@shadowraith1]

Kind of amazing what tech has brought to us. I was a bio major back in the early 70's. A lot of change. Thanks for an interesting video.

I’m an electronic musician and park ranger in NYC and in addition to the educational excellence of these videos I am obsessed with the music in them. This is the best use synesthesia in scoring I have ever found, and it really increased my empathy for the microorganisms on screen. Props to the composer, please keep making more of these videos!

[@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory]

Thanks for watching everyone! We'll have more episodes in the coming weeks - subscribe to be notified when they're out! Can't wait? Here's another microscopic tale you might enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4eci2CmfddgpKc

[@zooemperor3954]

Excellent videos. Keep up the great work

[@jsmead]

As a biology teacher who has loved to take my students on "Microsafaris" over the decades (with many of the videos posted here on my KZbin channel) I am so excited to see this series come to life! Kudos to Sally & AMNH on helping to introduce so many more folks to the joys of microscopic exploration! PS - as a native born NYCer - I love that the samples are taken in Central Park!

[@mymicroscopicworld]

I loved the space noises during the microscopy segments :)

[@irwinweisbrot6644]

Thank you for bring back memories of pond water from Prospect Park in Brooklyn when a dear friend and I were 14 years old. She had a beautiful Spenser microscope.We grew many kinds of protozoa including paramecia, amoebae, Stentor and Euplotis. We made permanent sides, one of which I had until a few years. I am just about 90 years old now. Those are the happiest days of my life. Thank you so muchI. Irwin M Weisbrot. MD

[@intensecutn]

I just googled Irwin M Weisbrot, and he only died 2 months ago on the 4th of august, 2024. He lived an extremely accomplished and dedicated life. He made it to 95! RIP Irwin.

[@thekidshouldseethis]

Oh man. We love this one so much. And the music/sound effects!

[@KingHomeschool]

:)

[@michaeltessler1338]

It is spectacular seeing this diversity of microscopic organisms with such excellent microscopy. Excellent work!

[@WhyPhi]

I like that she puts them back instead of abruptly murdering them as most people would have probably done

[@mscotttx]

This is what KZbin needs more of.

[@unvergebeneid]

I found the macrobiological life in this video just as fascinating as the microbiological one! Thanks for the great presentation! :)

[@googolnews2781]

Do u know name of this microscope

[@JohnDoe_1237]

omg, the Phacus is so beautiful! Thanks for this awesome video! =) greetings from Berlin

[@stevenpowers546]

Very nice video. I hope that the Museum plans on posting more regularly.

[@DoesItEvenMatter27]

Thank you. I enjoyed the history lesson as you brought van Leeuwenhoek’s tool back to life. I also enjoyed the examination of pond water and the introduction to the flexible tools for modern scientists. I look forward to your additional presentations.

[@vivek7shirke]

I'm studying microbiology so this was very helpful thanks guys!

[@minutewalt]

Some people are asking in the comments about the field microscope. It is a Newton NM1, about £399-£550, although it is discontinued and hard to find outside of the UK. They're pretty reliable, if you find a previously owned one, snatch it up. You can find the same thing in the Em Microscopes line of EM1 Field scopes.

[@davidlogiudice]

Thanks for the heads up William. Doesn’t seem like the EM1 is for sale yet but nice to know something similar may be available. :)

[@TyrannosaurusRex5027]

I actually have done this multiple times. It’s pretty cool seeing all the microorganisms in the local pond. Fun times.

[@zack_120]

Everything in this video is unique of a sort and beautiful, the instruments, the video editing, the way of presentation, the music, and of course the microorganisms, ... Especially, they are the little creatures that make most organisms possible including Homo sapiens! To some degree it's unbelievable.

[@asgio27]

Great video. Can you give us the model of the portable microscope you use ? Great job !

[@marksolarz3756]

I’m 53,......still have all my golden press nature books! The one on pond life is very good! For all us amateur biologists who live next to such wonders!

[@hornthieves]

Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@xae-u8k]

Love your show so far!! Great info!!

So beautiful! Thanks Sally! 💚

[@martinfernandez882]

I love the glass models of microscopic life in the Hall of Biodiversity. And I Iove this mini docu.

[@sbryann]

Had to watch this for school but i actually really enjoyed the video, it was well put together and the cinematography/editing was incredible and the music was perfect for it, props to whoever/the team who made this

[@nm515]

we absolutely need more pond life videos

[@MrDevilman80]

A big thankyou for this mini documentary 😊

[@EclecticWizard6]

This is great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@remyrobeson9955]

love love love!! excited for episode 2!

[@Profedenaturales2]

Great video Sally! I follow you in Instagram and I'm so happy for you. Congratulations!

[@arthurmeek]

Awesome video, and great music! If i get reincarnated I now want to come back as a microbe. Instead of a panda bear. Though I suppose this may further contribute to the decline of a large mammal species. I will think further on this issue before making my final choice. Anyway. As you can see your series is inspiring and thought provoking.

[@alyssahourie9958]

Does anyone know what kind of microscope she is using? Not the antique one but the field microscope that we see her use. Thanks! :)

[@tashuntka]

Very cool... And Sally......love the accent 👍👍👍

[@aliceamos7070]

WOW! What a fantastic world is there! Would love to see more creatures! They are amazing! Thanks for the video!

[@marksolarz3756]

I’ll take a very large glass container,......fill it full of clear water. Then I’ll place a handful of swamp vegetation and watch as they swim out into the clear water. Larvae of all kinds,....and with a simple magnifying lenses you see a whole world of little critters! Love your videos!

[@txfu-]

Is the second microscope used on sale, if so i would like to know the name :)

[@FingersKungfu]

Amazing. Where can I buy a portable microscope like that?

[@keithdurant4570]

Very good question. I just did a search of various field microscopes and can't find one that looks like this, I am hoping someone gives you an answer.

[@narrator69]

@@saltima That's not as expensive as I would have thought. Seems to only be available in the UK though.

[@googolnews2781]

@@narrator69 why this microscope do not find in other countries

[@sirmeowthelibrarycat]

😳 Excellent presentation, well paced with very stimulating information. The location shown is most attractive. Unfortunately, the reference to ‘pond scum’ or sometimes ‘pond slime’ elsewhere do not give this ecosystem a positive status in most people’s imagination. Language matters, wherever it is applied.

[@johnvictorjacobson7933]

Please tell me about your field microscope 🇺🇸👍😎
