The Hidden Life in Pond Water

[@rkupka]

This is one of the most beautiful and unique videos I had ever seen on KZbin. Keep up the great work.

[@MissJ970]

Always looking for these microscopic videos..this is BY FAR the best I've seen. Typical videos are very flat but your technique is much more 3 dimensional, viewing them as if they were normal size. Thank you, I so much enjoyed watching this!

[@rkimba01]

I've been a pondwater microscope enthusiast all my life (let's see, uhhhh, 68 years). The images you have produced and displayed on your website only exist in my dreams. I only see glimpses of cilia, the texture of surface tissue, suggestions of flagellae. I never see the colors you have recorded. Thank you.

[@HemanGohil]

Damn.. The Hydra entrance music..!!😱😱😱😱

[@losman4107]

@@HemanGohil Sounded like death lol

[@HemanGohil]

Goosebumps when saw Hydra and the Background music plays...

[@yeahorightbro]

Incredible! So incredible! I can't wait to see more. I could watch this all day. Well done!

[@naeree7254]

There should be some sort of Award given to acknowledge efforts like this. National Geographics, the History Channel or SOMEBODY should be beating your door down offering you guys some work or something! Out-Freakin-Standing!!!

[@DankNova]

Nae Ree yup

[@dfquartzidn6151]

Definitely 😉

[@sethbishop6890]

They live in water lol

[@DavyDave1313]

I get the impression that if I made a fire in front of you you would revere me as a god of fire.

[@Starbonsai]

This is amazing! But it was pretty funny when the Hydra at the Water Flea, because it was just moving around everywhere and being annoying, nice job Hydra xD

[@nameshame]

Now that was...... Quality!

[@vairagyavedanta4254]

One of the most beautiful and amazing things I have seen! It is inspiring, humbling, transcendental, exhilarating all at the same time..And kinda divine too. Thanks for all the hard work put in.. Please keep making such beautiful and informative videos and you have a fan in me already..

[@idzikmat]

I'm taking second-year micro and I must say that I'm finding it ever so fascinating. It was especially wonderful to come across your videos. I wish all students had this opportunity!

[@VAROOMS4]

Great Video ! I love the music timed with the hydra at 3:30 Top notch !

[@antfactor]

So great... Thank you for this video!! Some nice music selections, btw. Cheers.

[@bobojoe5999]

The footage is amazing! I loved this video :)

[@christopherjohnchilds805]

Awesome clarity, the details are truely fantastic. You wouldn't like looking through my vintage scopes, can't say I'm seeing that level of detail

[@VulpinetideCuteTimes0w0]

2:07 Me when my co-workers bring pizza to work for everyone.

[@intothenight9256]

Absolutely phenomenal work!!! Stunning!!! I appreciate you sharing this!!!🙏🏼

[@mariaalhindi9728]

This is an amazing job and unique video! Thank you.

[@inthepupa]

Thank you for sharing your work! It's wonderful!

[@MisterSquinter]

incredible work, well done!

[@yoshyoka]

Very nice job! The macro captures are amazing

[@carluchoparis]

This video is incredible!!!

[@alphaphotoandvideo]

amazing, you video deserves more views

[@zenoist2]

Awesome! Great work!

[@TuloMicroorganism-p5b]

The video is amazing! I loved this video

[@alejandrovizcarra7697]

That was very beautiful, a masterful capture of nature

[@vimut2020]

Wow... that's even more amazing.. thanks a lot for your contribution... I just thinking to learn to do something like you did.. Cheers!!

[@taleandclawrock2606]

Beautiful footage!

[@ליאורנוימן-י6ח]

Beautiful, absolutely fascinating. Pleasure to watch with the kids.

[@aya34455]

I put this in my relax list

[@ashrafulhaque6964]

Beautiful work! I had a religious experience watching the video. Bless!

[@ChatoonsChannel]

Beautiful, thanks so much for this video!

[@Joey-rs7uq]

Damnnn Daniel!!

[@rberdan1]

Nice to see more and more of the microscopic movies of pond life hope it will inspire more folks to buy a microscope and look at these fascinating organisms. Robert Berdan

[@tracekatral]

Amazing! Great stuff. Just picked up a used labophot.

[@ocelloid]

I feel like I am missing the question. I kind of show a lot of different creatures under various magnifications and I apparently suck at guessing which particular sequence you are talking about. The iso range was different too ) It was pretty high for macro work (800-3200) and low for microscopy (100-400).

[@MrTimjwilson]

Very nice work!

[@richardlucero1265]

There is a lot more life than we know of, just because we can't see it, does mean it doesn't exists!!, Thank you for having the patience to film it!

[@BenderAssociates]

Nice clip, very good images. Out of curiosity, what is the equipment?

[@tjliebmann8430]

I don't normally leave comments on bids...but, that was amazing!

[@tonycoolac]

Amazing work. You should make more videos.

[@ocelloid]

Thank you. I wrote a lot about making the previous video in my blog (find the video and it has a link under it). Nothing substantially new in this one aside from the fact that I had enough experience to make it faster and improve the quality.

[@Brians-Easy-Low-Tech-Solutions]

Pretty amazing. Your video and pics are of great clarity. Stentor, and volvox are such beautiful things and I have never seen the bryoza before. I had colonies related to the sessile animals instead decades ago. I made microscope video online too but I did it low tech. (web cam attached to a microscope) and looking down the tube. Might be the thing for poor microscope obsessed teenagers to get started and later become like you! (Webcam has to have a focus ring).

[@nitinwalmiki8999]

Thanks for making such beautiful Zooplankton Vedio Underwater life which is very less known

[@gmdchanar]

Great work dude Hats off

[@luckycharmz4u467]

what kind of microscope are you using?

[@richard_darwin]

How did you film this so magnified. It doesn't look at all like you used a compound microscope. Did you use a zoom lens on your camera?

[@tybrady64]

Awesome video! Would love to see similar stuff of amoebas and other small creatures

[@davidbishop3521]

Simply beautiful! Much better video than the last in terms of video and audio. How do you achieve the black background? It creates such great contrast different from the standard light microscope imaging. It's no wonder people find them so boring.

[@michaelpentland1581]

I have just stumbled across this and what an amazing insight into the key guys in a freshwater system.

[@nuke97]

Wow. Amazed. Please continue.

[@edgarallenpoe8457]

Awesome video loved it

[@microscopeitaly]

Stunning video and superb microscope! art

[@mfs0009]

Well its good that you mentioned about DIC, is there specific microscopes that have DIC or its just and add on thing.

[@ojosenelmonte]

fabuloso! enhorabuena! No tengo palabras. Es precioso.

[@janhuijs4134]

Absolutely great job! We are so little aware what is going on just around us! Hope that it was OK with the makers that I refer to it in an e-learning program for staff working in sterilization departments in hospitals, to get them introduced into this amazing world of micro-organisms… If there are specific requirements please let me know.

[@adelinadelajara4651]

Beautiful!

[@sess9561]

How did they fit all these on Noahs Ark?

[@CMMikeAdamsPFForensics]

They included a pond smarty pants. Your relatives were somewhere at the bottom waiting to evolve. (Being sarcastic - sorry) Funny post!

[@davistalhone9482]

Well they live in the water after all, so a flood wouldn't really.. Ah never mind. That's cute.

[@rickyw.2631]

In a drop of pond water...

[@thualin]

Obviously they didnt. They can't drown dumbass :P

[@DRKNT640]

genetics lab onboard

[@tubamaxima187]

Outstanding. I wish I ccould get image quality like that. What video camera do you use ? Are you using dark field ?

[@algobo]

Fascinating!

[@uhgs]

what for a lens/setup did u use? looks amazing! :D

[@vimut2020]

what's sort of things that have it own lighting? And what ISO setting was that to get a very bright colorful looking like that?

[@iDavidelectro]

Amazing please make more videos

[@ponee59]

This is an awesome video.

[@vairagyavedanta4254]

Would love some additional commentary or subtitled info as well.. How much time does it take to make these videos?

[@HolyHarleyAz]

Friggin' amazing. Listen to it with surround headphones.. Wow! -Holy Harley >

[@tushar18]

What microscope was used for this?

[@zsoltb.7895]

+Tushar Goel zeiss axioscope 1 i think

[@MrYungKitty]

+Tushar Goel Zeiss Axioscope A1

[@GameBrain321]

Truly amazing

[@kurrizzle]

Thank you

[@ocelloid]

Now when I have the right optics I can include such objects as singe cells and even what happens inside cells. When I was making this video I didn't have lenses with the needed magnification.

[@mfs0009]

Hi.. I love you video and images, you art inspired me. I need an advice to get a microscope that can capture such a great life. I have a marine aquarium home and its full of interesting microscopic stuff, my camera is 7d as well. Please recommend for me a good microscope and if you think i need dark filled and phase contrast. Some one recommended the primo star microscope from Ziess

[@ocelloid]

thanks arturo

[@kassiekitsune189]

you need to make more videos

[@謝小傑-s2w]

Same

[@Matt-tb4il]

Nice video! What did you use to record it? Also what microscope? Thanks!

[@ganescus]

If the world slowed down a lot, hydras and sloths would be the top of the food chain. :)

[@zsoltb.7895]

best micr. video ever

[@unim8]

3:09 whats the name of that creature?

[@viltoris1944]

Unim8 It’s called a Daphnia

[@ocelloid]

Thanks. I am now focused on marine micro fauna

[@Tityusbahiensis]

congratz. u could also make footage of another animals, such as worms, larvas, spiderlings, acharina, arthropod/gastropod structure.s

[@porschadominguez8262]

I found myself wanting to pause it so that I could Google all of the different pond life animals.

[@lilyandersons7384]

Great, amazing

[@darealbarcelona]

What kind of microscope is being used here???? Or is it the quality of the camera???

[@aolimaictio]

Super !!!

[@xzevious69]

I could watch hours of this footage

[@VictorFursov]

Thank you for so Nice video! Good uck!

[@mr.movies1593]

Is there an original documentary ?? I want to watch it. And if you have any suggestions please tell me i am curious. Thank you.

[@terradescato1119]

very helpfull for ecospheres!

[@gregorychizhikov5587]

Wow awesome interesting how yall got this stuff

[@usernamemykel]

I've a Canon 7D Mark II and an Amscope Light Compound microscope with Abbe condenser. Would I be able to view what you've shown using a darkfield filter? Also, WHICH DSLR mount did you use between your 7D and the ocular? Many thanks! Incredible video!

[@JS-qi1ye]

Великолепная работа!!!

[@hiseminencetheholymacdiarmada]

Today I collected 2 separate gallon jars of water from the pond I fish at, there is literally NOTHING swimming around in it. I collected it from where the lilly pads are thinking that is where the microscopic life would be. I have also put some of the vegetation in the jars. I have seen one or two extremely tiny dots swimming in there, they are much smaller than daphnia, they're so small you can barely see them and they move very fluid, not jerky like a daphnia. But as I mentioned, out of two gallons, I have only seen one or two of these swim my things.

[@alejandrodmsosa]

great vid do more

[@BrookLNunn]

What is the image of the clear sphere with green dots on it? Great scope work. Anything else you would like to tell me would be great- I am using it in a public lecture as an opener to the microscopic world. how should I cite you?

[@emilyweissmed9908]

Would it be okay if I included a link to this video in some free downloadable curriculum about Ponds for Kindergarteners?

[@johnchai1287]

awesome

[@a.msayem1663]

All praises to almighty allah for creating such a wonderfull universe with awesomeness from macro to micro level

[@andresgomez8292]

That's it, I'm not drinking water ever again

[@mysciencevideoforschool]

nice vid

[@vimut2020]

and I guess this part (0:17 sec) was shot by macro lens , right? : )

[@ocelloid]

Thanks, the equipment in listed in the description.

[@yingtyii2428]

this video site was made in a qr code form and it was on our biology textbook :D !!!
