Can we agree this is basically a science ASMR channel?
Love Hank's voice

Hank accidentally defines life: "Bags of resilient bubbles."

3:27 this shot of the Hydra is so breathtaking! (it looks like there's gold glitter)

I can't wait for more fluorescece microscopy! I'm working in an academic lab where we're designing fluorescent dyes that change color based on their environment (Red when inside a membrane or orange when it's exposed to the cytoplasm). We use a computer to simulate/calculate the electronic properties of dyes to get an estimate of if the dyes could change color (Solvatochromism). It's neat stuff

Season 4: We've upgraded our microscope again.
Season 5: We've got a scanning electron microscope.
Fingers crossed

Geez, you bois keep outdoing yourselves. We're travelling the universe just through our screens.

"Thank you for coming on this journey with us."
"Thank you brilliant for sponsoring this video."
Your forgetting the most important one... Thank you James!

I'm excited for the future videos with the new microscope! Glad to be a part of this journey as a viewer.

When my boss asks me what my objectives for the year are I’m going to say 100x and walk away. My objectives are beyond their understanding.

Hank and Team - this is beyond exciting, so awesome that we have access to all of this through you. THANK YOU!!

[fauxbugnl]

It's rare to see channels that have 0 dislikes, especially of your size. But how can we expect such a thing from such an exciting channel. As a student busy in medicine, this is absolutely incredible to see. Many thanks for the continued uploads.

[simone]

Congrats on the new upgrade! Your captures will for sure be even more spectacular with it.

[RyuSujin]

Got to the end and I thought "the video is over already?" and realized 10 minutes had just flown by. Now *this* is quality content. You have a new subscriber :D

[dracoaestas]

That last image of the dying copepod is profoundly beautiful. The finality of and transformation in death, the visual reminiscence of solar flares or nebulae, the fascinating chemistry and physics of fluorescence. It's incredible.

[OhanSmit]

Thank you for showing us a journey into a world that would otherwise go unnoticed!

[einsteinx]

This channel is criminally underrated… I can’t believe each episode doesn’t have 10x more views at least!

[burtbackattack]

You got to love Hanks soft, soothing voice in these videos.

[AmblesJambles]

I remember getting the chance to use fluorescence microscopy in university, it's fantastic. In my case we tagged specific proteins with fluorescent molecules so under specific wavelengths we could identify where the proteins were inside the cell. It was a very rewarding project! I can't wait to see what you folks do with it!

8:44 is proof "as is the micro so is the macro". It looks exactly like viewing a galaxy or something similar in space.

[xcruell]

That last picture is absolutely stunning!
I need this as a live wallpaper or something :D
