This was the weirdest thing I've ever seen under the microscope. It just blew my mind!

Ps. Sorry for adjusting the microscope here and there. It was my old makeshift microscope and needed a lot of adjustments.

[jam]

I´m ok with letting what happens on the microscope dictate what you do on this channel.

I loved this video!!

[Bluesmudge]

There is an expression that something is as exciting as "watching mold grow, " and until now, I thought that meant "boring." Now I am not so sure that it doesn't mean "fascinating."

[jam]

I really like the background music, it complements the images very well.

[superdupergrover]

"when you see something strange happen, you hit record". Good advice for many fields of interest.

I love that your format follows the events rather than a formula.

[colesherrill]

Do you think there would be a way to stream real time under the microscope stuff? Honestly just leaving some stuff in a slide and just streaming that would be awesome.

Thank you for these videos, not only they are extremely educational but they're also entrancing and enjoyable. Love the colors, vibes and the sensation these videos evoke. The simple fact that I'm staring at life-forms there are literally crawling around me, living, eating and dying, just raises a sense of awareness of how complex our reality truly is.

This was awesome, and you know, the music really works as well, I'd happily watch some bacteria wiggling about for a whole hour in the background, check in.

It's kinda like with ants, scurrying around, doing their thing, having a system in place for how they work and you can just follow it around.

This series, though I've worked with microscopes myself, and with Electron microscopes, it was mostly on fungi or unmoving bacteria... This series just shows what a world of life is hidden beyond what we can normally see. It's easy to think "There's bacteria everywhere", but it's a lot more fascinating to see that world in motion, in action.

And some parts are very alien, even scary, and then some very much resemble, analogue with what we see going on in our macroscopic world.

It's fascinating and I look forward to every dang episode. You guys are making the microscopic accessible and understandable, which is something that has been tried before, but has always been pretty hard to do in a way that keeps an audience, because it very quickly comes to a point where people have to study because they don't understand things.

But the simple and clear explanations are memorable and though I personally forget every single name you guys throw at me, I do not forget what all these bacteria, all these different micro organisms do, and why they do it.

So thank you for that, looking forward to the next episode!

This is acceptable.

Just want to say this video has a stunning soundtrack, maybe it's because of being unedited and less narrated it had a lot more time to evolve with the story, but I was grooving. Came across this channel and Andrew Huang's separately awhile back and didn't even realize it was him until I looked at the credits to check while watching this, he's a great fit.

[johninwaynenewjersey]

Wow, that was spectacular! We, for the most part, walk about tending to our everyday, mundane lives oblivious to the life and death drama taking place all around us, Thank you for bringing this to us that we may witness these struggles of beings we otherwise may never know.

This was amazing! Best 23 minutes I've spent in a long time. Watching real life dramas unfold in the microcosmos is so mesmerizing.

[Psittacus_erithacus]

appreciate the up-front disclaimer & the timestamps; but pleased to have been able to observe this in real time. For what it's worth, you made the right choice by me.

[jbboy]

I could watch this for hours. Between the awesome visuals, the music selection and Hank's relaxing voice dropping in and out...perfection.

[turpialito]

I wish channels like these had more subscribers. A sorry state of affairs when STEM videos are drowned out by YT's algorithm. Do keep up the good work, guys. Captivating, well-narrated, and just overall fascinating stuff!

[Jake-pcfd]

Best video by far. Thank you Journey to the Microcosmos family. It’s hard work, I can imagine. Thank you. It’s my get away from life for a few minutes. Please don’t stop making these videos.

[poppyEars]

Thank you for making my wait in the jurors lounge more enjoyable and educational

Now I can't stop wondering if the salmon I had for dinner was cooked as well as it should have been.
