Watch SALT destroy BLOOD CELLS under the microscope

We'll be using a microscope to explore the effects of osmosis on red blood cells (erythrocytes). You'll see how adding salt water and distilled water to a sample of blood affects the shape of the red blood cells and learn about the role of osmosis in this process. [video 187]

one more question what cause the blood flow under microscope?

[@perspectivism2006]

Great video, it was cool seeing blood cells coagulating microscopically. Do you think a fluorescence microscope would have made the blood cells more visible in the distilled water test?

[@Microbehunter]

Fluorescence microscopy would work, but one would have to add fluorescent antibodies (which bind against the red blood cell) to make them visible. So while it would work, I think that the time and effort would be high.

Just got my first microscope (JttMicrocosmos) today and of course immediately pricked my finger! Thanks for helping me better understand what I was looking at. I came back after ~4hrs and couldn't find any remnant of my RBCs. Either I was doing something wrong or they all popped and went homogenous. Still learning the very basics, like noticing I can focus on at least 3 planes. (Cover slip top, sample, back of slide?) Anyway, just the beginning, next up creek water, and playing with stains. Lots of slide prep technique to master.

[@jeremyd2453]

I just got my first microscope today as well and did the same thing, and saw nothing at all. Have you figured out why this happened?

[@kimberlykopetseg5154]

It would be great to show a blood sample taken prior to your experiment then test the pH of the water you plan to use, for example; distilled water (does not contain minerals) is supposed to be alkaline but I tested one from the store and to my surprise it was very acidic, then drink a glass of water or so and after 30-45 minutes afterwards check another blood sample for comparison.

Hey, I'm a biology student in Belgium and I am very interested in buying a microscope! I know I'll be using the microscope frequently in the future. I watched a lot of your videos and I am very interested in the white monocular microcope you showed in a few of your older videos, the BMS Breukhoven. I am looking for a monocular microscope with a mechanical stage, light intensity regulator and a condenser. All your monocular recommendations on Amazon don't have all of these things... Can you give me advide on where or how I can get this microscope or where i can find one that is similar? Or should I go with a binocular microscope even though i prefer a monocular?

[@Microbehunter]

Why do you prefer monocular? Do not confuse binocular microscopes with stereo microscopes. They are different.

[@Hoya144]

@@Microbehunter thank you for answering! I prefer monocular because I find it a little bit easier looking through it, the weight and because it’s cheaper. But like I said, I don’t mind purchasing a binocular if you can’t recommend me a monocular that has the things I want! And am really looking for a compound microscope, not a stereo.

[@Microbehunter]

Many microscopes these days are sold binocular, but especially for schools monocular are preferred (cheaper, lighter to carry). There are not many quality monocular compound microscopes available. Those that are, usually do not have a mechanical stage, no condenser etc. But I can give you a recommendation. Contact the company Euromex in the Netherlands. They have a microscope called BioBlue, which is monocular. We bought it for school. Watch the review video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJyVnIx9rchshtk There is a second Dutch company (www.breukhoven.nl/) they used to make the BMS microscope that your referred to. They too have a range of good educational microscopes. I would contact either Breukhoven or Euromex (Email) especially because you live in Belgium (ideally you could visit them to have a look at the microscopes, but this might be difficult these days).

Take a blood sample and look at it then photograph the slide. Then take your shoes off and walk around on the grass or dirt and take another sample and photograph that slide.

You will notice the blood cells are no longer clumping but are separate.

Would using any other water like bottled or tap water would have had any difference in the results of the blood cells?

How long does it take for blood to start stacking, if anyone knows. TY!

depends on the amount of blood that you put on the slide and how fast it dries. Sometimes stacking starts first at the edge, where evaporation is faster. I could see stacking several minutes after making the slide.
