Its so cool seeing a hand under 400X magnification follow @microscope__videos on @instagram #microbiology #microscope #bacteriology # #biology laboratory #bacteriophagetherapy

These two are just single-celled organisms; basically a bunch of building blocks and cell machinery wrapped in a membrane, and here you can see what happens when that membrane bursts and spills its contents out. . The smaller organism, Holophrya, has harpoon-like structures around its cell mouth that are expelled to immobilize prey. They usually go after smaller microorganisms or decomposing organic matter, so this whole scene was so unexpected my jaw was on the floor. . When I found these two, Holophrya’s little harpoons had already fired and pierced the cell membrane of the larger organism, a Stentor, and it was tugging on the Stentor’s membrane. After a few seconds, the membrane popped almost like a balloon, and the Stentor’s cell contents spilled into the environment for Holophrya to feed on. . Holophrya has sensory mechanisms that let it detect the chemical signals coming from the spilled contents of the Stentor. So it kept swimming around for minutes, swallowing all the soup-like cytoplasm droplets and solid chunks of organelles, and even the bits of lunch Stentor had earlier. . While Holophrya was feeding on its spilled “guts,” the Stentor was busy repairing the hole in its membrane. Although it lost a lot of cell mass, Stentor has the ability to recover from all this and regenerate its deformed cell back to normal like nothing has happened. I wish I had that skill of regenerating emotionally, I’m like a savant of sad memories and broken cell membranes. 😂 . Thank you for reading! I’ll share a three-minute clip of this on my exclusive pages so you can watch the Holophrya keep feeding on the bits while the Stentor continues to repair itself. Your support makes it possible for me to keep posting, and I appreciate it. . Best, James Weiss

Ok but this was the best lab hack that I ever learnt 👀 save this for your next microtomy session! Who wants more tips and tricks from around the lab? Edit: this is a microtome, it's used for cutting really thin bits of tissue which are sent to histology to check what's wrong with someone (like moles etc). The tissue is processed then embedded in wax then cut on the microtome. The block I'm cutting would usually have tissue in but for demonstration purposes this is just an empty block of wax ... #BiomedicalSciences #BiomedicalScience #BiomedicalScientist #Biomedicine #BiomedicalScienceStudent #Biomed #Microtome #Pathology #Histology #Histopathology #Science #LabHack #ScienceHack #LabTips #LabSkills #LabHacks #LaboratoryScience #Stem #SciComm #Scientist

Slide Making Skills: Pass or Fail? ✅❌💀🤯🔬 I had a BLAST filming this! 🔥🙌🏽 I went around asking scientists on shift to make a peripheral blood smear—on the first try! Some haven’t worked in hematology for years, but after a few attempts… we finally got something usable 🥴😭🤣 What’s happening here? We’re making microscope slides from blood 🩸 to examine WBCs, RBCs, and platelets under the scope 🔬 The trick? The edge should look like a feathered edge 🪶—that’s where the magic happens!
