In this episode of The Microscopic Odyssey, we are diving right into the brilliant way Lacrymaria olor captures its prey. Full Episode: youtu.be/fMf8CrTpHOQ?si…
Welcome to The Microscopic Odyssey! A new show where we uncover the hidden realm of microbes. In this very first episode, we plunge into the intricate life cycle of apicomplexan parasites, microscopic masters of survival and specialization. youtu.be/Uts-KdIcUMM?si…
Bristle worms are great belly dancers. 😂
Life is everywhere but this car was a whole ecosystem. 😂
Cladonema jellies are the cutest! 🥹
The tiny predator Lacrymaria olor owes its shape-shifting ability to an “origami-like” cellular architecture, a new Science study finds. The results offer a glimpse into geometrical control of behavior in single cells. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/7eu
Diatoms are normally so full of color! Not this diatom though... this diatom is colorless. P.S. This episode was sponsored by Manukora Honey! 📺:youtu.be/y2zIgHQx5mY?si… 🍯:manukora.com/microcosmos
We are so vastly outnumbered by the many microorganisms in the microcosmos, so what does it mean for a microbe to be "rare"? youtu.be/l4zQWpAyiSk
It may surprise you to know that older bodies of water are much better for finding hotspots of ciliate diversity. Like the old lake in Warsaw, where our master of microscopes found this unique ciliate that hasn't been seen in 90 years. youtu.be/zgjo6fAH16I
We've looked at plenty of food and drinks under the microscope on our channel, but none quite as wild as kombucha. With its complex array of interactions, both predictable and not, kombucha is more like a terrarium than a bottled beverage. 📺: youtu.be/NtkuZ0b5c6A
Come and observe this pretty foraminifera with me. Live now! Link: twitch.tv/jamsgerms
We're often asked how to find tardigrades to look at under the microscope. One of the best ways comes from a century-old technique that we'll show you in our latest episode. 📺: youtu.be/O7tWN9kAZvQ
Here is a spaghetti worm for you! 🥰
Mesniella live inside the guts of some aquatic worms. They don’t have a cell mouth but rather they acquire the necessary nutrients through osmosis. Truly one of my favorite microbes to watch!
If you're learning about cryptomonads, you might be surprised to find out they have four genomes. What do they do with all those genomes? Let us tell you what we know. youtu.be/tVLD2CfUCJc
If you're outside of the US, today is the last day to order from microcosmos.store with standard shipping and get guaranteed delivery by Dec 24. AND we've just been able to restock a few of our microscopes!
We found some things that we can't explain, but they all have one thing in common. Here are a bunch of funny things going on in the unseen world that surrounds us. youtu.be/1_xQ95nPxy4?si…
Y'all, the calendars are so amazing this year... complexlycalendars.com
Display the gorgeous photography of our master of microscopes @jam_and_germs on your walls all year long for another year! The 2024 calendar is in stock now at bit.ly/3tMAAgM.
It may not seem like you're looking at a calm and calculated killer, but that's exactly what we have here. No, not the rotifer that is fighting to get away, but the fungus that has it ensnared and will fully consume it within days. youtu.be/Juo-K0cFAuI?si…
