All this video is missing is David Attenborough's voice.

what magnification is this!

Thanks for the upload!

once i've got my leica i'll upload some stuff too ;)

Take care man ! JJ

[Tiburone15]

I see were it goes in but were does it come out?

[weardrake]

my microscope magnifies 100/1.25, is that enough to see bacteria and stuff?

[ozzymandi]

@weardrake Hi you need a higher magnification to see bacteria , but the magnification you have is great for looking at tiny creatures in pond water like Amoeda and other protozoa . You can also get some great views of small creatures like daphnia and cyclops. There are lots of things you can investigate you just have to be patient try looking at a sample taken from muddy pond water.

[weardrake]

@ozzymandi thanks, that really helps because i couldnt see anything move once so ever and it just frustrated me. i do have one question though, what magnification is needed?

[gedankenwelten]

@weardrake

I think ozzymandy was lead to a wrong conclusion by your declaration of magnification. 100/1,25 ist the magnification of the objective lans and its numerical aperture. This multiplied with the magnificaion number on the eyebiece (usually 10x - 20x) is the overall magnification of your microscope. The reason why you didn'T see much is proibably because it was too high. 100x objective lenses are requiredwith use of imersion oil and accurate cover glases. Else everything becomes blurry

[gedankenwelten]

With your eyepice you'll achive at least 1000x wich is about the maximum for *every* optical microscope on the world. You'll see some big bacteria in there. But as I said, working with the 100x is a bit of a nuisance. Try using the 40x or 10x, they are enough to see algae, ciliates, flagellates and whatever single celled stuff in great beauty.

Water fleas are probably even too big four your smallest magnification let alone the fact that they don't really fit under a cover glass.

[xshadw]

fucking creepy creature , by the way do they get sick like us humans ?

[MrBrownns]

its like spore.

[EDFWilliams]

The genus is not very big. But I don't know them very well. This one might possibly be V campanula but that's a guess.

[perilranger1008]

Wow...it's like Spore in real life. Does this vorticella have any (more) specific name? Type?

[bananian]

I can watch this all day long. :)

[EDFWilliams]

Keep looking. There are at least four food vacuoles visible... they all contain bacteria.

[19Tranc3r92]

@EDFWilliams

aww man, i wanna see the food  vacoule attach itself to a lysosome!

[AmazzTasticFillms]

I'm not seeing any food vacuoles. (yes I know what one is!) wouldn't they be expanding indide the organism and then being pulled out through a fold in the cell membrane? I didn't see that.

[Dagg215]

om nom nom, nom nom

[firedrakeer]

If you think this is boring...

NO U!

[XpuppyX1]

OMG they act like vacuum pretty cool though

[1888junkteam]

excellent

[Healer7]

these little buggers ate up my algae specimens as I was microscoping them in a field lab

[datesie]

in mii pre ap biology class were talkin about cells this was cool to see

[Shadowstormist]

in biology yesterday i saw some vorox, ciliophora, amoeba, and spirillium bacteria! SOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!

[suckapunch565]

@Shadowstormist check out the stentors.

[Shadowstormist]

That is so amazing!

[NewarkerLew]

Beautiful.  Would someone look at my Central Park Monster and tell me what it is?

[davidc712dvd]

its a bunch of worms. tubifex worms. i use them as fish food.

[Legoking45]

hehe its a frikin vacuum ;)

[gavilanzaragozano]

I found a Nematode in waste water that has a very seemed mechanism to get food , The nematode had some structures like cillia in the mouth like this Vorticella sp. Do you know what´s the name of that structure? I´d like to identify what I saw.

[EDFWilliams]

Most of these videos were taken using phase contrast. But in some case polarized light and a red retardation plate were added to make birefringent inclusions more visible.

[GlimpseInTheLife]

good filters.....what did you use?????can u tell me also what kind of filter did u use on a your other amoeba clip?

[crazyhat999]

HOw do some people think this stuff is boring??? its awesome!

[zrejuso]

@crazyhat999

CORRECT...THEY'RE BORED BECAUSE THEY'RE IGNORANT OF THESE STUFF

[mike88m]

bellissimo esemplare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bonanonator]

i learned vorticella in biology last friday lol i actually saw in the microscope xP

[AFloridian]

I wish I could be that ba.

[novadude987]

Nom Nom Nom

lol

[johnayerger13]

vorticello..learned about that in biology the other day. pretty cool!

[esc4all]

0:06 omg,Michael Schumacher,the microscopic version xD

[TheSonOfDumb]

I believe i was Paramecium

[funfamily07]

how fast do micropes evolve?

[EDFWilliams]

Microbes: bacteria, such as E coli for example, divide once every 10 minutes in culture. One is a million on the average is a mutation.

[runabout12]

Very nice find

[shortclayman]

num num num num num num num num!

[drmcgray]

Very nice. I have just been observing voticellas that are arranged in balls from local pond water at lower magnif. using a dissecting scope with a doubler.

[vikki10]

haha this is fricken cool =\ seriously it is cool though

[Presidentjh]

:45 Dumb protozoa: OH Crap! Sorry dude, didn't mean to get in the way.

[liphttam]

ummmm I was wondering if anyone has seen one of theese protists exept the right were the "tail" was attached there was two flagelum like things flaping

[Murleccone]

nice vid and nice protist

[kingrotifer]

So that's what they are called! I saw a numbrer of those when i was looking at the rotifers. Nice video!

[dandaman7896]

awesome, ive been looking at these in class. doesn't look like he caught much though, he didn't bounce back on his stalk.

[r0ck3tsm0k3]

Has to be the best looking protozoan of all : )

Looks like a champagne glass.

[Daniel39363]

I saw one of those today, I also saw so protisty things and this wormy thingymajiger.

[Shandchem]

Vorticella has a really amazing shape and is a wonderful protist, to watch feeding with its active rings of cilia! Fantastic photography!

[jsmead]

Great Video - what is your camera setup? You really captured a perfect view of feeding & the vacuoles!

[EDFWilliams]

I use a modified Logitech Pro 4000 with a Marshall 12mm lens. It sits on top of a Periplan 12.5X Red dot photo eyepiece. In this case the objective was a Lomo 40X phase.

[justbeef]

great!

[dlindeman]

Do you think maybe it was a pun...Patricia ha ha Peritricia!!!

clever

[EDFWilliams]

Actually the order is Peritrichida of the Subclass(3) Peritricha. For a moment I thought you had unearthed a new generic name for Vorticella. You gave me a fright.

D

[Gilda716]

Peritricia!!!

[EDFWilliams]

I don't know what this comment implies. Do you mean there is now a new genus -- Peritrichia?

[Gilda716]

no,Peritrichia is the ordo of Vorticella.

it means,it has some cills on its specific parts.

Phylum:Protozoa

Clasis:Ciliata

Ordo:Peritrichia

Genus:Vorticella

Species:Vorticella sp.

:D
