It's Alive!

A rare glimpse of the circulatory system of a simple mold. Mold filaments contain a substance called cytoplasm which carries nutrients from one part of the mold to another, see this microscopic highway in action! the technical term for this is Streaming Cytoplasm

That is awesome! Can you take someone's blood and view mold in it, if they have candida overgrowth... or is that not how it works?

@keastland I'm not sure that would be possible . . . there would be so many issues to contend with. You'd have to know what to look for, hope you had a blood sample that was contaminated. I'm sure the testing method used by the medical profession are much more exacting.

HI,

I took this video with the microscope we have at work, it has a build in camera so I can take stills and video, Magnifiction would be around 100x magnification.

@Skye1158 I didn't have one, I'm just very interested in this stuff and considering going back to school. I've had a medical oddyssey that's last over a year and a half now and I'm finding that at least some of it is caused by mold. Modern medicine is VERY slow to come around to all the harm that mold can do inside your body. I finally just got a doctor to order one test for Histomplasmosis, but would like to be able to start looking at some stuff myself, is why I asked.
