Were you for the amoeba or the stentor?

The stentor for sure! He was just minding his own business when the amoeba mounted it (without it's consent or knowledge!)

aMOEba.

lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

you must be crazy to call cops. They'll shoot you down and then realize how microscopic the issue was.

Arjun Sujo You mean tissue?

Best comment of the year!!! 😂😂

lmao

It's already dead by then

That's funny as hell!

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

#sigled celled organisms have lifes

This is scary. I'll not marry.

Jeeeez lol

This is the most beautiful thing I have evrer read😂

MassaJim how does it digest it if is so big

what the fuck

This can be said about anybody lol

@@jdelectro and almost any living being...

@Chita Cheetah they dont have even single 1 neuron, so no brains

@Chita Cheetah You can't just get corrected and say woosh.

AOC

😂

CARLOS.

I love this. Too much.

😂

no please NO!

it's nucleus is gone so it ded

mlp guy stentor are multi-nucleated, so it’s probably fine

@MindMachine- Killing something for lunch can be **TOUGH**! Lions, tigers & bears find that out early-on...

Not really, Stentor is just an exceptionally resilient specimen, most other cells would 100% be killed when ripped up like the one shown here

> happily more like scarred for life

I was expecting the stentor to pop like a balloon

Fairly certain they have no emotions

Well, we don't really know how healthy the remaining part is. For example, did the surviving part wind up with the macronucleus? I can't tell.

@@Xezlec it looked like it had at least a part of the macronucleus which means he should have enough to recreate the whole thing!

Bruh same

Same

Lmao same

Yep

Lmao yeah. That vid came out of nowhere and now I'm seeing so many microbe vids

LEGIT

Where the tribal nudity tho

Well yeah cause presumably these don't feel pain.

@@Daruqe presumably

@@Daruqe well they do have reactions to negative stimuli. Does that count as pain?

I think it's more like the stentor cut its way out and regenerated a new tail. The part that was eaten was most of the old body and tail. It salvaged as much as it could from this and then escaped.

Ungh Uugh An object-lesson for Mankind: *Get out* while the getting-is-good...

Wow, it literally just mitosed in order to save itself! That's so cool!

CLASSICALFAN100 sir that is a beautiful thought, may i use it in my thinking process?

It probably has a feeder line into what would be the tail. When the original tail got cut off, the feederline pumped liquid into the remaining body, and it extended until a new tail was visible. Kind of like having your blood shot through your veigns at a few tens of bar, to your feet. If your leg gets cut off, and skin grows, the pressure will push down the skin to grow a new tentacle (limb)

Rebellious Treecko. I do too. it's so cute I wanna die

Especially, because there are only 4 known people that got the Amoeba parasite and acually survived... all the others died. yes it's so cute, eating you from the inside out

Miss Skyla Was talking about the Stentor.

Stentor is adorable. Amoebas are terrifying killing monsters.

Rebellious Treecko you're one of those people that would find a piece of shit cute.

DUDE, SAME

Oh, actually... The stentor just made it way out by itself. Just imaging cutting a half of your body just to get out of your hellhole.

Yay(: he will survive and Coke back for revenge

+Theocles Saturn that's sad ):

+Theocles Saturn can't it move it's nucleus to the 'head' then escape? or is the nucleus in stentor fixed in a place?

+Theocles Saturn Actually Stentor has lots of copies of its DNA and has the ability to fully regenerate!

It is more like one third of him

Lol

no 5799 years

amoeba are too badass to be eaten

Lol

Where can I find this?

You should seek a career in writing. Smiles to you.

Hi Sadaf, don´t look for magnification. 1000x magnification would mean 100x objective in combination with a 10x ocular. I removed 100x objective from my microscope some time ago, as I rarely used it. And it´s not easy to work with 100x objectives, you need to be well experienced and have a very good microscope. Most of the times, I use objectives up to 20x, occasionally 40x. I did not document, which objective I used for this video, but for sure not more than 20x. My other video, "Cosmarium sp (green algae) - cell division" was recorded using a 40x objective. Which microscope: I answered this question some months ago, but not sure how to put a link here (if that is possible, at all), so just a copy/paste: This video was done with an approximately 40+ year old Zeiss Standard 16. I paid approximately 400 USD for the complete microscope. No special objectives or techniques were used for this video. You may also look for an "old" Olympus, Leitz or similar brands. Microscopic forums are helpful to get guidance on what to buy and how to use a microscope, also where to find samples to look at. Hope this helps, wish you and your child much fun!

That is enough. I recommend you find someone who works with microscopes to help your child as higher magnification can be complicated because you have to use a different adjustment knob to zoom in. I hope your kid loves it! I was the exact same.

Speak for yourself

Darving is no shit. Isn't he?

You will find a couple of views and discussions here. If you don´t mind, I copy/paste what I posted, before: it would need, at least, one nucleus, or complete set of chromosomes, to survive. As larger ciliates tend to have more than one nucleus, or sets of chromosomes in one large nucleus, this stentor may have survived. Unfortunately, the nucleus of the stentor is not well visible in this video. With some stentors, it looks like pearl necklace (Stentor coeruleus) - you may google for pictures.

KambizMT is Stentor harmful to humans? I know Amoeba is fucking dangerous. I'm kinda scared and fascinated at the same time.

Hi Berly, most of them, like this one, are not dangerous for humans. Relax :-)

KambizMT in terms of microbiology, and the complexities of single celled life, and complex ciliates, it makes sense to google for ‘pearl necklace’ as that will enlighten one further about the terrifying beauty of life

I loled.

You should have been able to see it live. Or are they not doing that anymore in schools?

Hi Nikita, the microscope is a Zeiss Standard 16. I take samples from different ponds, several times each year.

@@KambizMT thanks! I also take samples sometimes, but living in Central London I am sometimes restricted in options Do you normally take samples from the surface, underwater or from the bed of the pond?

@@Neuromant1991 I take samples from all areas, if possible. Also sometimes samples from garden ponds. I live in a small city in Germany with only a few ponds, but not all are exciting:-) . I found nice organisims in one dry moss sample from Madeira, after incubation with water for some weeks ! Good luck.

Thank you! It´s a Zeiss Standard 16 microscope, no special illumination. But I prefer not to close the condensor, too much, which reduces the contrast.

Hi Daren, video took approximately 35 minutes. Starting at 3:20 to almost the end, the speed was increased 10 times. Stentor tries to escape, but looks more desperate with this time lapse. It´s for sure in the DNA. Biochemistry: Amoeba is hungry. May need to wait for others to shed some light on this. Wish you nice dreams!

Happy you like it! It´s a Zeiss Standard 16, camera Sory SLT A65

It took months, but it got me.
