Winning Microscope - Objectivity 108

[@markncl100]

Keith, Brady et al. your glimpses into the Royal Society never cease to facilitate me. Some of the most interesting and enlightening videos on KZbin. I thank you.

[@ObjectivityVideos]

Thanks for watching :)

[@Komier09]

Keith's puns are amazing.

[@philp4684]

"Narrow field", right? That was a really stealthy pun. I reckon Brady missed it at the time, which must be why he put a cut immediately after it!

[@OTuit]

I think Brady missed the first one. "Microscope committee met in a SMALL room."

[@Komier09]

Narrow field killed me. Keith is on top of it.

[@garyzod8818]

I think Keith looks like a 19th century Victorian gent.

[@pofict]

0:11 Keith lands the joke. 0:13 very pleased with himself here. 0:16 still thinking about it. 0:18 "My God, what have I done?" 0:20 "Oh shit, you're still here Brady"

[@realspacemodels]

The instrument is simply beautiful. But the box it came in is amazing as well. Brilliant design!

[@kakaokuh]

Maybe the ad was a genius marketing ploy, only the best microscope makers would be abled and intrigued to read it.

[@karina4747]

kakaokuh aww.

[@francoislacombe9071]

Bit of trivia. Allowing both eyes to be used when observing with a microscope almost doubles the amount of details one can see, due to the brain being able to combine and compare the two images and thus extract more useful information from them. It also makes observing much more comfortable.This also works with telescopes.

[@DamienJones77]

I would have this as the flagship episode of the channel. This is a hell of an object.

[@microfab11]

Amazing video. The English and the various Royal and microscope societies are amazing. Wish we had more organized groups in the US.

[@Faxter313]

2:35 Lovely Brady-Moment.

[@whoeveriam0iam14222]

[I put this comment in a box for your excitement]

[@ObjectivityVideos]

you know us too well!

[@whoeveriam0iam14222]

almost like I've watched literally every video on this channel

[@karina4747]

whoeveriam0iam14222 damn this comment is gooood.

[@michaelsheffield6852]

Another good one. Worthy of Patreon support.

[@tehlawler1]

Could it be possible to have a q and a with Keith?

[@dylancochrane7910]

So beautifully done as always Brady, my favourite series on KZbin starring my favourite librarian!

[@TimBowers]

Something about Brady's voice, makes me very glad to be a Tim.... (that's a shout out to the HI listeners!).

[@azza4710]

Brady: This is very heavy *groans* You were carrying it around like feather Keith! Keith: Yep B-) The swagger xD

[@leestuurmans2837]

Oh man, this episode is definitely making it into the favorites list!

[@thenorup]

2:33 "I feel a disturbance in the Force. Like a million box fans nerdgasming at once!"

[@GamesFromSpace]

Small advertisement, small prize, small number of entries. I imagine the records of the meetings are called seconds, and they served only miniature pastries and doll sized cups of tea.

[@Bananakid11]

Keith is always ripping my bass apart

[@MicroBlogganism]

At this point it's only a matter of time before we get a best of Keith's dad jokes video :P

[@michaelroberts5557]

Baden Powell is on the committee that established the competition, which is won by Powell and Lealand. What was the relationship between the two Powells?

[@2Cerealbox]

2:35 I've never seen Brady look so baffled.

[@martinconrad9260]

Personally, I adore Keith's puns....

[@465maltbie]

Is it possible that the RS would publish some nice photos of some of the instruments in its collection? I have some photos from a friend who visited a museum exhibit a few years ago that had a similar triangular frame but it was not the same as the one you have shown.

[@MeowMeowDeathRay]

100 pounds in 1843 is just 11659.55 pounds today. Seems a bit stingy even just considering the sheer cost of manufacturing the lens and the microscope.

[@AshishGupta-ql9lq]

but they also got the bragging rights

[@LeoMRogers]

Out of interest, are there any good sources on how much it would have cost to manufacture a microscope like this?

[@thecassman]

Yeah I imagine the £100 was fairly irrelevant to the entrants... How much of a massive boost of publicity would it be to gain a Royal Society award for an instrument you produced. Priceless.

[@2Cerealbox]

You can't accurately take inflation back to 1843; TVM calculations are too rough an estimate of worth to accurately measure something even 75 years ago without caution.

[@kf4744]

That's just using inflation right? You have to also think 'what purchasing power would this hold' as well.

[@zelest]

Nice haircut Brady :) (And don't think it's a coincidence that a related video is "6 sexiest men's hairstyles of 2017")

[@90PILLZ]

wow the prize was 100 pound.i remember i painted a house for an old guy and he told me he remembered when back in 1915 a private group of contractors built the road from sandybay (hobart) to taroona for 100 pound!

[@Nilguiri]

The Microscope Committee, the official committee of Objectivity.

[@gigglysamentz2021]

I challenge you to find stuff related to Benjamin Banneker in the archives ! Ted-Ed just made a cool video about him ^^ He was born in 1731 :)

[@shugaroony]

Beautiful objects.

[@ObjectivityVideos]

Agreed!

[@FirebornGames]

Brady has been playing around with new film effects, hasn't he?

[@daveotuwa5596]

This scientifically triumphant microscope weighs as much as a kid!

[@ThomasPerkov]

Nice to see "objects" in objectivity again ;-) hehe

[@pkotka1317]

It would be nice to get video about Thomas Simpson. Linendraper who was member of The Royal Society.

[@steve1978ger]

Well, the offer of "deliver to us a microscope of our spec and MAYBE we'll buy it" probably wouldn't have been very enticing.

[@gigglysamentz2021]

Ah Keith's puns X'D

[@jmalmsten]

I heard you liked boxes for your unboxing videos so I put some boxes in your boxes!

[@Schizopantheist]

AH YEAH! The sound of Brady coming across some microscope porn..

[@Schizopantheist]

2:59

[@TheValakyr]

I bet there is a record of the people the microscope was lend to. That would have been interesting.

[@diegomineiro]

Brady didn't got the very small room joke.

[@ObjectivityVideos]

I can't stop for every Keith "dad joke" and pun - we'd never get any work done! - Brady

[@markcox5385]

+

[@TheHazyshade]

Got any hidden paintings in old books? Cornell University does.

[@probusexcogitatoris736]

A microscope ad that you need a microscope to read... seems fair to me :D

[@DanielFoland]

Good film.

[@huubvanderent1097]

Wondering how large the magnification is.

[@ArneSchmitz]

Does it still work? Would be nice to see some video footage filmed through the lense.

[@PinkChucky15]

It's pretty funny that that microscope was the only entry :-)

[@iHumza510]

Wondering if the generations of 2200's view these videos the same way we see these microscopes today. carefully kept, with the manufacturers name etched at the base.

[@johnchancey3941]

Hey, Brady - I think Fox News Channel may have taken inspiration (aka, "ripped off an idea") from this channel. They announced a new show this week hosted by Harvey Levin. The show is called "OBJECTified," and will feature famous people highlighting personal items and possessions as they give their life stories. But without you and Keith....the show is sure to be a failure.

[@johnallardyce4164]

Keith told a funny :D

[@nickwoo2]

man I love brass

[@edgeeffect]

Can't beat the Victorian obsession with Brass, can you?

[@davidrodgers45]

Brady, the hair product isn't working. You might want to reconsider. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy your work in all your channels.

[@gumunduringigumundsson9344]

Seems to me that that microscope at the time cost a bit more than that. Its like a nobel prize in microscope. Not much bling but a great recognition.

[@BeastOfTraal]

Is that Baden Powell the father of the Baden Powell that founded the Boy Scouts?

[@gwynjudd]

BeastOfTraal yes

[@SirDominic]

how much would it have cost to make such in instrument at that time? seems like they would have spent more money making the thing than they got in the prize money.

[@Macieks300]

information before the internet apparently didn't travel very quickly

[@morte3252]

Brady can we have 4k 60fps?

[@philipjohansson3949]

That's a tiny font, not a tiny typeface.

[@thecassman]

A font describes the size of a typeface (among other things) - I think to say both are "tiny" would be correct.

[@infinite1der]

Another cool object. But... Keith is a SWATCH wearer!

[@oldcowbb]

how can keith make a pun without changing his face

[@kcthewanderer]

100 pounds for 100 pounds. Even trade.
