Brownian motion

I'm sorry about the Danish captions.
This is some recordings from an experiment on Brownian Motion. It's done using a digital ocular USB connection, to a cheap microscope bought in Aldi. The magnification is 40X and 1024X. The experiment itself is an easy setup: Milk dilluded with a small amount of destilled water. What appears like fuzzing movement is the phenomenon of Brownian Motion, first discovered by Robert Brown in 1827, and later proven and mathematically explained by Einstein.

The movie itself is set to Brian Eno's song: And then so clear. Here's a link to the experiment:
