[@sophiarose03]

This channel has fueled my love of microbiology. It turned a spark that started in my zoology class into a roaring flame. It inspired me (in part) to create an award-winning science project on microscopes, which is what motivated my parents to buy me a really nice microscope with a digital camera and the accompanying software for my computer. Hank, you have been inspiring my love of science ever since I found my first crash course chemistry episode almost 5 years ago. Thank you a million times over for constantly bringing this joy and wonder into my life. I would not be who I am or on the path that I am without a deep love of science, for which I hold you largely responsible. ❤️❤️❤️ (Edit: Also, “This Isn’t Hogwarts“ is probably one of my favorite songs😂) You know, just in case you see this, I wanted to let you know.

[@Agent-ic1pe]

This is basically tied for the highest-quality channel on KZbin. I love it

[@BingusFodder]

What's the other one?

[@ariochiv]

It would have been nice if you had said something about what they eat (if anything), what they're doing that produces such exotic waste chemicals, why they collect in small colonies, and why they bloom in spring. Rather than focusing so much on smell metaphors and collection strategies. Maybe the answer to these questions is "nobody knows," in which case that would have been good to know, too.

[@elenatroiae]

thanks yall for getting videos out reliably during the pandemic! I hope that everyone whobis working on these videos is staying safe!

[@radagastwiz]

Xanthophyll can make its presence known in the macro world, as well - if a deciduous tree drops yellow leaves in the autumn, it's due to mostly xanthophyll remaining.

[@shikasta123]

7:36 i need to know what that black thing is.... is freaking me out

[@CeeJMantis]

It appears like another organism like the ones that are in focus, but it seems like it's closer to the lense, and the imaging technique that they are using (the background is blue) causes it to appear dark.

When discussing the history of microbes, or anything, we have to never forget the continents drift. 400 to 500 million years ago what we know as Antarctica was on the equator for at least 200 million years.

[@fancyobsession1803]

I have a few questions: 1. Under the microscope, how much of the z-axis do we see (besides the x-y plane)? What's the DOF that we are dealing with? 2. How thick is the typical z-axis when samples are prepared? 3. So far all the movement we see is left-right up-down, all we learn in school and see everywhere is that the "microcosmos" world is "flat"; how different do the organisms react/move when it's in the "real" world (where z-axis is "infinite") vs on the limited depth of the samples that we are viewing? 4. Do micro organism even care about 3D space, or everything to them is 2D-ish. 5. Any technology available to have a more 3D representation of the microcosmos?

[@chosetec]

The scale is hard to fathom, could you guys do a zoom in an onion or something at different magnification 2x .. 4x.. 100x ect. It would help to show the progression of the tiny scale when the numbers get incomprehensible.

The begining of this video is pure amazing for a Life discoverer... Something say me I'm more sad than a person born in May because I was born in November, and the general world temperatures has been decreased till The minium temperature in Jenuary, either the May born person one was born in a Period when the temperature is rising from the minimum to the maxium so this mean it's perceive is to increas it's humor entropy in the verse of more entropy, instead I'm going to go in a underscale of humor, perceiveng an decreasing of general entropy that cause in me a kind of resistence to this humors that gifted me a kind of secret sadness but constant rational enthusiasm, either the May one have the gift of constant enthusiasm but a deep sadness; So We have the same emotion at a date time and we know both but in a kind of way we feel in a constant conflict; The one born in May and me born in November; The first have a different lenghtwave in the passage from an emotion to anothers, and consciousnessly it decrease it's happy, either me, I decrease my lenghwave till have a big sadness, and consiousnessly I get myself happy....

This series has inspired me enough to look at microscopes, wondering what I might find in my local surf break :)

[@jajwarehouse1]

I am curious about the smaller rectangular being near the top and about 1/3rd from the right at 6:56 . It seems to have a ladder shaped assembly with either three or four rungs and lots of flagella at each of its four corners. I do not see anything else on this or any of the other shots that look quite like this one.

[@stax6092]

What is that number that has been showing in the bottom right? It hasn't always been there, and I am not a microscope user.

[@johnopalko5223]

I think they added it a few months ago. It's a measure of scale. It gives the length of the reference line that appears immediately above it, e.g., "100 μm" indicates that the line is 100e-6 meters long.

[@Azzarinne]

This is lovely. I always appreciate the calm voice & music. One thing that poked at my brain, though: 7:17 Isn't the singular of algae "alga?"

[@christopheb9221]

Great video so happy you created this channel this stuff is so fascinating. You guys should contact netflixs and\or BBC to see if you can make a documentary(maybe even a series) that would be so awesome something like planet earth for microbes. (maybe even david attenborough, nothing against Hank just Attenborough has done a doc on basically every life group except microbes.) 3:55 _it overshadows the green color of the chlorophyll,_ sounds like the xanthophyll's yellow is brighter than chlorophyll's green. I know you know better than this, that pigments absorb light, maybe I am interpreting it wrong but sounds like saying the color of the organism is caused by additive colors when saying _one is overpowering the other_ rather than subtractive like saying _only leaving the only the range between green and red unused_ As you said a sentence earlier _these pigments process different wavelengths._ So these organisms only reflect yellow/orange.
