Amoeba Clip 3

[mynameishyena]

good work this is an amzing view of an amoeba in motion. My sixth grade science teacher used this clip to show us the movement of an amoeba!!! =)

[EDFWilliams]

40X phase contrast objective; 12.5X photo eyepiece; 12mm internediate lens. So in the microscope about 500X. But displayed on the PC screen can be anything up to 3 to 4X more.

[DemonLDR]

What magnification is this filmed at?

[anandalouz]

so beautiful and relaxing! was waiting for the streaming of protoplasm to change direction after 50 secs which never happened. Is this due to your editing or to the fact the amoeba was moving do you know? Do you have a video showing that phenomenon? I would really love to see that if you were at all able to post it, thank you!

[Nerudah]

if you guys want extra drama; open a new youtube window and play watch?v=lyJwbwWg8uc while watching this(starts at 30sec)..awesomeness ^^

[ThermalHD]

Looks like gelly moving with lots of big ben candy inside.

[wowsale1]

i didnt know amoeba had color :),but ok

[auburnmare94]

@wowsale1 It was contrasted and enhanced with polarised light to enhance color and observe the organelles more easily.

[DementedStudios9007]

I flagged this for child abuse XD

[crazy4lego]

looks like mah vomit! :-)

[lejwocky]

TETSUO!!!

[lifesgreat96]

Wow so colourful



[cusanusnicolas]

Government work.

[blondi195656]

bacteria which are moving around

[asifvet2]

There are some tiny things moving in the background, what are these?

[nosiriwonthaveapples]

that was beautiful

[shandu300]

i have my pet - ameoba :)

i like him very much XD

[ikmalmaster]

what is amoeba food called?

[nimsh01]

They usually eat rabbits, though mine prefers reindeer.

[dalsgaard12]

Today, I saw an amoeba under a microscope for the first time in my life. It was only 40X, so it was really hard to make it out, and it was moving a lot faster than this (It was swimming).

Here you can clearly see the cytoplasm and different organs under the capsule.

intersesting

[10oscar01]

where do you get amoebas?

[EDFWilliams]

In the bottom grunge of a fish pond, from swamps, lake bottoms, rain-water barrels, river rock pools, tropical fish aquaria; from damp soil and moss on rocks in rivers and lakes. The can be found in almost any wet place. But most abundantly in the bottom sediments and rotting vegetation. I've repeated myself a bit... sorry

[10oscar01]

thanks I found, but the ones that i found are smaller, the eyepiece is 15x and the strongest objective is 45x, is it the microscope or the amoebas?

[kwtblack]

Thanks for this info

And hey could you please tell me how to get Paramecium please ?

[ERIKHable]

could you provide some info on isolating so they can be viewed

[BirgitteEskum]

Dear @EDFWilliams,

At Esbjerg Art Museum in Denmark we are planning an exhibition this fall concerning art and nature. The curators might be interested in using this little amoeba video in the exhibition. Is it possible to receive a copy of the video - and your permission to show it as well?

Best wishes, Birgitte Ørom (boe@eskum.dk)

[deltajo1998]

you heard of the game spore?

cause i wish the cell stage looked like that and lasted longer.

[JAYRONNAMOO]

omg

[hecmol79]

flujo citoplasmatico no bidireccional?

[ozzymandi]

Yes I think it is Phase contrast or maybe dark field , great video though.

[rsl84]

which cells are the bi-refrigents ?? and what they do ? Exellent video !

[TaliaBeltR]

beautiful

[Hirnmorchel]

Very amazing!

[xlioilx]

wait amoeba's dont die just split they must have some strange DNA I wonder what they will evolve into in the future it would be neat to see

[biscoito1rdebunks]

evolution is not a ladder, amoebas don't have to evolve if their environment don't force them to, and by the way they have the longest genetic material known to mankind

[xlioilx]

yes yes I know all this but just give them a few million years and see what becomes of them

[hpribot]

Like you, they'll get older and croke

[LemmyDecaution]

Teeetssssuuuuuooooo!!!!!!!!!

[alanejackson]

Without a sufficient rate of reorientation, magnetically, the protoplasm within warm-blooded animal cells becomes detrimentally stagnant, unable to achieve the degree of matter dissemination required for mechanisms to function properly, and the result is varying degrees of osteoporosis or even death.

[Xattier2453]

Hey I say you comment on other videos.. First of all stop trying to look intelligent you are completely offtopic. (I CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR GAME)

[alanejackson]

Does it all stop without a magnetic field?

Is this what trips to space are teaching?

Magnetosynthesis. Why rocking chairs and cradles? Is crib death osteoporosis in babies? If you set up a camera, and recorded yourself during a nights sleep, would you be found moving less than you did last year? Every year? Can learning why a bird's egg must be turned during incubation double life expectancy in humans? Any thoughts on there being An organelle living inside your body that migrates magnetically?

[Xattier2453]

no........

[yupko]

Epic Sentence Fluency Fail

[Xattier2453]

saw*

[kylecasp]

alright, now how does that relate to this video?

[ameagor]

they sure gt an interesting life ay?

[soyelmasfregon1000]

nice take, i going to show it to my kids, and tell them why we must wash our body and hands...=)

[ShaolinSKunk]

Contributing to the prevalence of superbugs?

When there's a pandemic caused by one of these superbugs I'm comin' to your house buddy >:)

[siloe103]

its the human race, but sshhhhhhhhh dont tell anyone they all think human are relevant

[declan3906]

i want to see this thing fuck

[d4rk4knight]

these things dont fuck..they clone themselves

[declan3906]

i want to see this thing fuck

[EyFmS]

Oohhh come on....do you really thing the Amoeba porn industry might work?!Mnnnn think about it...for a minute...hey!...mmmnnn no...but hey... maybe if we add implants...then again it might work...:D

Naaa just being dumb,little bit of humor doesn't hurt anyone ;)...this is great footage thought :).

[declan3906]

You fuck

[nemesisnick66]

Rule 34

[JasminaBlazevski]

Well, its regeneration is not very immpressive. It just rips itself in two halves and they both carry on with their lives, that's all.

[666DaniFilth666]

WTF...this video is awesome.

i think this kind of videos are really interesting !!!

tnx dude!

[Shroctopus]

i would int doubt these things live on after inside our bodies,after we die.... and are absorbed through the earth, to be filtered through the organic system again.

[mcdaniel67]

Excellent work..how does he get such good color contrast?

[Yttrium77]

Phase-contrast microscopy

[toasternac]

amoeboid!!! errgghhh

[freelance97]

cytoplasmic streaming! yay!

[badsector666]

thanks for this uploads , i´m biologist in turkey to , i think its good practice...

regards

[thegrimreaper999]

Lol that amoeba better not pop or it will make quite a mess heh heh. the euglena it ate 2 weeks ago is still there!

[uglysack]

Beautiful! Is this filmed in real time? Oooops, I mean, is the film running in real time?.. or, is the film reel running in time? I know what I mean, I think... I used some of your footage projected onto big screen at party I played at... thanks.

[EDFWilliams]

Some parts of this clip were taken at about 15 frames per second so the amoeba seems to be moving in tiny steps. Other parts were at 30 fps and are smoother. This is running in 'real' time ... I know what you mean. The words you were looking for are 'time lapse' a technique that results in a speeding up of motion.

[Shandchem]

Amazing to watch the motion of the amoeba which is filmed with such clarity and sharpness!

[k0ng0fw0rld]

wow u sure dont want this going up ur nose...

[EDFWilliams]

There is one -- Naegleria sp that does go up the nose and from there to the brain. Look it up on the web.

[Ramenzz]

okay....you don't have to tell us that..

im going to have nightmares T_T

[MatthewN168]

ehh, me too..

[lifesgreat96]

@EDFWilliams We are currently learning about them and I think that the Naegleia sp are scary. I don't go diving though

[NexIuguolo]

"Amoeba don't build cars and motorcycles and buildings;

They only consume anything that comes into their way!"

"You mean Tetsuo? You mean he has that kind of power?"

-Akira

[deoxyribonucleus]

OOPS, amoebas are highly selective about their food. They can't taste but in fact are true gourmets. And by the way, yes, they do build buildings. We call them tests. And some of them look better than the ones people live in.

[EDFWilliams]

Exiting from where 'Dude'? Or can't you spell?

[metamaterial]

"I can give you any life you want, but it will cost you your spelling aptitude... heh heh heh."

[Burzorg33]

Dudes if you think this video is exiting you really need a life lol!

[santos1991w]

actually what worries me is that you are not interested in this video scotty boy.

this video should make you realize quite a lot.

[oddchicken033]

I'd say by just looking at it it's cool looking anyway I have a packet on theese guys and I missed them under the scope so I need fotage :P

[VietPriDe143213]

weird? I looked at an amoeba at my school..never seen such weird body

[djemil5]

HEY!!! That's my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great cousin!!!

[italiangookie119]

at the end you can see a small dark dot move around kinda fast rite above the amoeba.. do you have any idea what that was?

[GibsMyNibs]

Yes and no, it is one of many single celled organisms, I do know that is Amoeba "food". and probably uses cilia to move.

[Sherman8likenate]

i have a science projest and this just gave me an idea thank u! lol
