#Blood under the microscope Video by : @my.microscopic.world Shared for educational purpose only. Dm for removal The red color of human blood comes from iron inside the red blood cells. The iron is a very important part of the protein responsible for carrying oxygen, called hemoglobin. Each red blood cell is filled with these proteins and are therefore ideal for transporting oxygen from the lungs throughout the entire body, like microscopic oxygen busses #science #biology #microscopy #underthemicroscope #nature #life #microworld #microcosmos #ecology #microorganism

Tears under microscope 🔬😶 Amazing video by: @tardibabe 🤗 You can see as her tear dries up, a beautiful frozen landscape is created a remember how salty tears are? When water evaporates, salt crystals are formed! Not only do we shed tears when experiencing emotions, but tears are also released every time we blink. While emotional tears indicate distress between individuals from certain animal species, they serve additional functions beyond emotional expression! Tears consist mainly of water, providing hydration to the eye, aiding in clear vision by focusing light, and facilitating the dispersion of electrolytes, proteins, lipids, and mucins. Electrolytes, such as sodium, chloride, calcium and potassium are important for maintaining pH stability and normal osmotic pressure (they also create beautiful crystalline patterns on the microscope slide when water evaporates). Lots of different proteins are present: some are antimicrobial, some are enzymes that help breakdown lipids and other proteins and some are involved in wound healing and inflammation regulation. Lipids can also be found in tears! Can you see some small oily droplets floating around? These lipids include cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids, and they prevent water to evaporate too quickly. The last components are mucins, large glycoproteins that help spread tears evenly over the ocular surface. All of these elements aren’t just randomly sitting in water. In fact, they’re all organized in three layers. The outer layer is the one that contains lipids and keeps tears from drying up. The middle layer is the watery one which keep the eye wet and nourishes the eye tissues. The inner layer is made of mucus and helps the thin tear film stick to the eye. Tears also form a barrier against foreign particles like dust or dirt and protect your eyes from pathogens like evil bacteria or viruses. There are even white blood cells secreting antibodies in your tears! These guys are always at work for you, how sweet 🥰

This #MicroscopeMonday comes from @tardibabe on our BX53 system! 🔬 This awesome video features a Stephanoceros fimbriatus rotifer! "Rotifers are also referred to as « Wheel Animals » because of the rotating cilia, called corona, they have on their heads! They usually use these cilia to create a water current that attracts food particles like bacteria, algae, ciliates and other microorganisms to the mouth. Although this species is a bit different from the other rotifers. Instead of having some rotating wheels on their heads, they have five long tentacles with moving cilia that redirect preys toward the mouth! These rotifers are basically ambush predators waiting for preys to pass by. Preys then get trapped into small compartments before getting pumped by sphincter muscles and ultimately being swallowed. Most rotifers are planktonic and swim around but Stephanoceros fimbriatus is sessile, their adult stage is immobile. When in their larval stage, they swim around until they find a nice spot to stay for the rest of their lives. I found this one sticked to an hydra, which is kind of odd since the hydra could easily have eaten the rotifer." Looking to get into the fascinating world of microscopy?

White blood cells under the microscope will be one of the coolest things you will see today! After being bitten by my leech, I decided to look at the resultant blood under the microscope - many white blood cells were at the wound site and they were super active. Most of this is Timelapse footage to show you how they move around. For those also wondering, the footage is between 40-2000x magnification - the higher objectives using oil immersion. The human body - a beautifully complex system! #whitebloodcell #microscope #science #wow #blood #inflammation

These are Trachelomonas, they are tiny unicellular organisms. . They use sunlight to produce sugar for themselves, each has two whip-like structures called flagella and they beat the flagella to swim. . Trachelomonas builds a shell around it cell and the shell's color changes over time because of some mineral deposition. . Thank you for reading.

It is amazing what the different garlic membranes look like under the microscope! What you saw in the video is 1) the outer bulb membrane (tunicate skin), 2) the clove membrane (periclove skin), and 3) the inner clove membrane (periderm). Who would think that these membranes look like miniature art pieces! . 1) Outer bulb membrane (tunicate skin): this is the membrane that protects the garlic bulb from losing water, against pathogens… This outer membrane is made up of dead epidermal cells. The cell walls of these cells are rich in cellulose and hemicellulose, and they also contain lignin, which provides additional rigidity. Amazingly, as is the case in the clove membrane, you can see crystals, which are calcium oxalate crystals, and are likely serving a protective role to the garlic bulbs. . 2) Clove membrane (periclove skin): this membrane is similar in appearance to the outer bulb membrane, but thinner and more tightly attached. Its function is to protect each clove individually. This membrane is also made of dead plant tissue, and its composition is similar to that of the outer bulb membrane, although it doesn’t have as much lignin. . 3) Inner clove membrane (periderm): this membrane is directly on the surface of the garlic flesh and is very thin. It acts as the final protective barrier for the garlic clove, maintaining moisture and protecting the living garlic tissue from external threats. This inner membrane is mostly composed of living epidermal cells. Their cell walls are primarily made of cellulose, and cutin (a waxy, water-repelling substance that helps prevent desiccation). They also contain pectin, which gives this membrane flexibility and also makes it adhesive to the underlying tissue. . Plant biology is amazing! . For this video I used an Olympus BX41 microscope at up to 400x magnification, and polarized light. #calciumoxalate #crystals #garlic #microscopy #microscope

“Zooming into the secrets of life—one cell at a time. 🧪🧬 “When an onion peel turns into a masterpiece! 🌟🔍 When viewed under a microscope, an onion peel (typically the thin epidermal layer of the onion) reveals a clear, organized arrangement of plant cells. Here’s what you might observe: Key Features: 1. Cell Shape: The cells are rectangular or polygonal, with well-defined edges. 2. Cell Wall: Thick and rigid, made of cellulose, giving the cells their shape. 3. Nucleus: Often visible as a small, dense, rounded structure within each cell. 4. Cytoplasm: A clear or slightly granular substance, sometimes appearing to flow within the cells (cytoplasmic streaming). 5. Vacuole: A large, transparent central vacuole dominates the cell, pushing the nucleus to the edge. 6. Intercellular Space: Spaces between cells may be visible, especially at the junctions. . . . . #onion #microbiology #microbiologynotes #microscope #microscopic #biotechnology #biologia

_amorphosis • no CGI, just ferrofluid on a microscope slide 💫 It’s been a year since I had the great pleasure of creating a video for the Amouage brand. A few months ago I had the opportunity to show you part of this collaboration, and today I am back to you with the second part because I finally had the chance to create fitting sound design. All you can see here is a ferromagnetic liquid mixed with some ink. The real size of the frame is about 10mm.
