I think that's the best picture of a ciliate I've ever seen! I have serious scope envy! it puts my 1970's Olympus FHT to shame even with the phase contrast set-up on it!

Most interesting! I am writing a report on the dirt, grit and grime that are a concern for the car wash industry. Do you have a video of some grime that you can direct me to. I would greatly appreciate the help. I have found many pictures of dirt and grit but not of "grime". The microscpic world is an amazing and scary place that is all around us and goes unnoticed. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work Sir.
@Microbehunter2 жыл бұрын
The "grime" that you refer to is called "biofilm" in biology. Biofilms can be found where water (or even oils) are contacting a surface over a longer time. In your household, check the bottom side of the drain plugs (in the bathroom) they feel slimy. This is a biofilm. Also in a lake, rocks feel slimy and this is a biofilm. Bacteria (etc) will start to grow on the surface. Biofilms are a huge concern because they can cause the blocking of pipes and tubes. Even in the oil industry biofilms have caused problems, where there were microorganisms growing on surfaces (of tubes, valves etc) using the oil as a food source. So you might want to check those parts of a car where there is liquid (cooling water, etc). Other interesting places to check and clean are the air filters (ventilation and air conditioner). When these filters are clogged, then they can not remove particles such as pollen anymore. People who are allergic therefore have a problem. This is why air filters should be exchanged frequently. Not only the filter, but also the inside of the tubes carrying the air there is a dust deposit. And then there is of course the carpet. Large surface area for organisms to grow in - a true ecosystem.

Hi sir, love your videos, I’m a cleaner and we have two options to clean with; bleach and hydrogen peroxide. We predominantly use bleach but it leaves residue on the surface we are cleaning, the peroxide doesn’t. I’m wondering which product would be more effective in destroying any germs or bacteria?

The objective lens with large NA is the key factor of the dic effect, because the amount of light entering is larger, it allows you to adjust the dic prism closer to the pseudo dark field, the shadow and highlight ratio is closer to one to one, and the stereoscopic feeling is stronger and the effect is better.

@Microbehunter2 жыл бұрын
Depends on the pH of the water. If the pH is 9.5, like some ads claim, it is, then this might already be too high for some microorganisms. As soon as it reaches your stomach, it will be neutralized. There might be additional minerals in them, but this is nothing unusual and independent of the pH. Can try it out.
@PratikChandrani2 жыл бұрын
@@Microbehunter Agree, pH 9.5 is most advertised and could be easily tested. It may be neutralised immediately upon reaching the stomach but I think it may still affect the gut microbes, probably adversely. It will be an interesting topic for people, I believe.
@user-lv9my6jw3x Жыл бұрын
@@MicrobehunterTo add to Pratik, it would be interesting to simulate a scenario where one drinks a glass of water (with different PH levels tested) and mixes with gastric acid (using just HCL for this may be beneficial enough). Using realistic ratios if possible. It would be interesting to see the change in PH of the HCL and the effect it has on microbes. We might infer as to what degree water (and its respective PH) affects the sterilisation and even digestion of an ingested substance.

Hi Oliver, do the organelles, proteins and RNA/DNA, polypeptide and polysaccharide fragments spilled from the cell when the membrane breaks down get also damaged? What would break those apart to beyond recognition by qPCR or other forensic methods of observation? And, does this “soup” in the surrounding watery solution get used up by other cells if this occurs in natural environment and not under the cover glass on a microscope slide which is usually a dead end street anyhow, with or without hydrogen peroxide.
@Microbehunter2 жыл бұрын
It is well possible that some proteins denature (change their shape) when the cell breaks up. The proteins are then not supported anymore by eg. a membrane (if they are membrane proteins) or the change in pH also might render then unfunctional. I think this depends mostly on the type of protein and how stable it is. The H2O2 will do a lot of unspecific oxidation and will also break bonds randomly, so I would not be surprised that after intensive H2O2 treatment there would also not be usable nucleotides left for PCR. As a matter of fact, I have used more concentrated H2O2 to completely remove organic material from specimens (I wanted to purify diatom shells this way.) The debris is certainly recycled by other organisms.
