  • I am taking legal action to ensure that nothing of my body will never be used in medicine or by any human for any reason. I don't want to end up being forced to help a rotten species like Homo sapiens.

  • Great video. HeLa cells are a very interesting subject, and it's great to find videos about this. Plus, the annotation on the video ("then we a TWO!") is too funny

  • I have read the patents pertaining to Richardson's RTM microscope. As I understand it, the quoted 100 nm resolution only relates to the darkfield aspect of the microscope. It's the color contrast part I still don't understand. Why do these images look so stunning? You can't break any physics/optics laws here. What exactly is going on.

  • The colour Brown is seen because of the video colour balances has been inverted, a part of the technique to reveal the information not normally seen in a picture similar to the use of darkfield in brightfield you can not see less than say 0.250microns whilst darkfield can reveal less than 0.1microns. Happy to answer more questions thanks for watching but just imagine how good my original full resolution images are compared to these

  • why these cells are turning into brown? i would really appriciate if anyone can explain please.

  • Hela cells if you do a search on the web you will find more about this amazing ladies story

  • what is a HeLa cell? It is very amazing!

  • Hope you enjoyed the movie I have others a number of others available you can search for rtmmicroscope to see more.

    All the best

  • @rtmmicroscope I would like to use your video for a class presentation and would like to add classical music as the cells divide. Is that possible?

  • These cells are called immortal because the person they came from was Henrietta Lacks. She died over 50 years ago and her cells are still dividing and living.

  • @chairde So if Hnrietta died... who gave the lab coats permission to play with her cells?

    BTW.. I know the background story on HeLa cells... and it's disturbing in many levels.

    Humans nor any of their parts should not be anybodies property... especially some pharmaceutical corporation

  • @2bRealist

    Good question and you know the disturbing answer. Scientists never got permission from her or her family. I think that the family should get the Nobel peace prize in Science for her unsolicited contribution to science. This way the family would at least get some well deserved money.

  • @chairde

    yes i aggree with you. they stole her cells and now making probably Zillions of dollars the family cannot get any money. but i dont really even know what to say

  • @2bRealist

    i woudlnt be suprised of one of those bastards had sex with her dead body. if they steal cells they had to be all up in her..for all we know they could have given her cancer .. we do not even know a lab experiement. we do not even know what she signed on to do. I mean i see crap like that on CL all the time clincal trials etc .. 300 for Black people melanin. Wth

  • @2bRealist Well the doctor who used her cells became famous and the pharmaceutical corporations became rich. I think that the Nobel Peace committee should step in and honor this woman with a prize given to her family. Oh by the way, nobody ever asked Henrietta Hicks for her permission to use her cells for research.

  • @chairde I am so sorry that I made a mistake but Hela cells come from Henrietta Lacks not Hicks. I really don't know why I made that mistake??

  • My Mind = Blown

  • This is an amazing video. This means that it takes 72 hours for them to divide. What kind of media do you use.

  • Thank you, may i assure you this is a poor image quality in-comparison to the original that I have, If you want to see the original I can post it on a server to download but it is 632MB.

    Many different cell type images captured with the same video rate speed and resolution are available and i will continue adding more over time ALL will include the title rtmmicroscope. enjoy and thanks for indicating your pleasure

  • Simply amazing!
