I just wanted to check if any of the microscope footage was colour corrected. I think I remember you guys mentioning that this can be done in the editing process for your regular videos, so I wanted to verify how representative this footage is of what we can expect to see when buying your microscope.

I recently started my PhD project in the field of ultrastructure biology. I'm using cryogenic electron microscopy and -tomography to look at a certain protein in the bacterial cell wall. A different kind of technology than light microscopy, but at its heart lies that same passion to explore life on the smallest scale. The videos that you produce at Journey to the microcosmos are invariably beautiful and informative, thank you for blessing us with your amazing work!

This is my preferred 'version' of Hank. Very laid back with a soothing tone to his voice. My favorite project by far.

I remember as a kid and in my early teen years I was fond of microscopes. But the ones I was given…birthday or Xmas presents mainly, were purchased from toy shops. So while the built in objective lenses went to multiple hundred times magnification. The only usable one was usually the lowest magnification 100x one. The others were always so dirty as to be unusable. This one’s obviously a lot better! Crystal clear to 1000x…nice! How the technology and affordability has improved over the last few decades is amazing.

How does this channel not have more subscribers ? This is so fascinating 😆

Great video! My parents got me a nice microscope back when I was 10 or 11. I brought back cultures from ponds and swamps near my house and saw some great things. A friend had an older brother who was a pre-med student and he let me use his oil emersion scope. I was in heaven! We are talking the early 1960's, so technology was more primitive. But I think those memories are why I love your videos so much.

I bought this microscope from your merch store last August and I love it. I post shorts as well as longer videos of the cool stuff I see on my KZfaq channel. Thanks for all the work you do.

This microscope is in my future in the next few months, as soon as I get some other things paid off. This will be a great upgrade for me.

So basically, a new series of How to Microscope? I don't have one, and I can't afford another hobby, but I'd still be interested. 👍

I use the JTTMC microscope and can highly vouch for it! I use it on my own YT channel. People love to watch! Thanks for producing it. Thanks James

The microscope I ordered was just shipped a few days ago. Getting excited! Thank you again for this

This is about the coolest thing you could have done by promoting a community behind the product

the phrase "the nature of the encounter shifts with the light that you shine on it" is gonna be bouncing around my head for a while

Day 1 Hank, this is probably the coolest project you have been part of starting. Microcosmos microscopes collecting imaging and training virtual microcosmic world.

I am excited, I just placed my order today ❤️

I'm usually one to buy something higher-end used ... and then have it sit on a shelf as yet another project to get around to for months or years. Finally decided to pull the trigger on a microscope and yours was as good a choice as any for my hobbyist needs. Turn-key and ready to go. I have some ideas of what I want to look at, but no telling where it will take me once I get going.

This video was fascinating! And I'm not interested in buying a microscope! Hank i loooove your vibe in narrating all of these. Why did we not get the cats name? Very important information! 😂

excited to try mine when it gets here!

HANK! I just read the news 😢 Stay strong mister! You will overcome it! I'm just one of your few hungarian listener, but I hope you gain courage of your audiences support! I'm sure there are plenty or rotifers that you'll be talking about for decades to come :)

Thanks, Hank!

Microscopy is a great instrument to have. Thank you so much.

First video I saw from you. I subscribed, you narrated very nice an used pictures

I just got a microscope and the whole family just loves it. We went in search for puddles of water to take samples. It was just amazing. My son whose 4 found a bright red spot in the microscope that none of us were able to find. We’re still trying to figure out what it is. We also found rotifers and mosquito larva. The most beautiful was Pediastrum which was very hard to photograph because it kept going in and out of focus(not the micro cosmos microscope btw a cheap one from Amazon.) We just had the best best time comparing our sample to James’ book. It’s almost a field guide.

Randomly thought of maybe buying a microscope. Typed it in and clicked this video. Amazing video, blew my mind seeing this footage. Very well put together, very informative and certainly passionate. Gonna check your price and hopefully I can afford it. If not will do some more research

Really nice😊

I love the microcosmos!

I have an home made pond sample and I saw so many rotifers! And a paramecium

God Bless Journey to the Microcosmos from the Burns Family in the Pacific Northwest

I would be happy to know the specific filters your using! Your videos are REALLY cool and I want to try make my own ones!

Nice video

Outstanding ❤🔬 🦠

Very helpful video. Will you be offering a trinocular head option for your microscope?

More information, tips, and recommendations for recording video through the microscope would be helpful (mounts, cameras, camera settings, phone apps, etc.). The included phone mount is serviceable, but far from ideal.

Thank you for such an amazing video. How do you record these videos?

Thank you🔬

its like looking down on a new world, i remember finding my first water bear. it was awesome

I built an Openflexure Delta Stage microscope, i need more objectives because I only bought a Zeiss 40x planar. it's a nice one, but I can't look at cool wigglers edit: upgrading for transmission lighting next

Any tips on identifying microbes? At least on a broad level

Once I have a place of my own to put it It I'll buy it! Im a Vet Tech who wants to learn more!

Hey Hank, I just heard about your diagnosis. Sorry man. Love your content!

Can you recommend a camera mount?

aaaaaaa I had a lovely surprise when I saw Hank and realised I actually knew this voice, heheheh; it's been quite a long time I subscribed so I kind of forgot he was involved in it

Thanks I would love to start a channel but where do you get the info that what is the name of the microbes...

I think I will decide to buy your microscope. I am very into soil life restauration and would love to show to young people all this beauty!! So I think with you all I am in the right company! ❤ Can you tell me if there are other members of Switzerland? Thank you so much for all your support! Love, Lisbeth

Will the store be restocked soon? 😭

How do you get more than 100x magnification in video since the eye piece is removed?

Was it your microscope filming the Keratella 1000x? If not, what microscope was it.

❤❤❤

Do I need to stain everything I put under the slides?

Any news on when the microscope will be back in stock?

Can you please share what kind of microscope you use to capture such detail up close? I purchased your microscope with the impression I'd be able to capture the same kind of detail or can you recommend one of those inserted cameras or what kind of lens upgrade I can get? The phone doesn't produce the quality I was hoping for, when I purchased this. I have a community of just under 5,000 subscribers and I teach safety and sanitation, so the micro-world is important and I had hopes to share that with my growing community. Trying to get the best out of this microscope or even, upgrade to the type you all film on to produce content so that my material can come alive and people can understand bacteria better. Would appreciate the advice... being that the dust-free cover is on mine right now not being used, out of frustration of capturing what I thought would be the same type of bacteria you catch. I will say I can see stuff with my eye, but it's still too far with the highest magnification lens and what my eyes see, my phone can't if that makes sense.

What type of microscope do you use on this video?

Quite helpful video on Microscopic Journey for sure.

When will this microscope be available again?

guys we are trying to buy one but we are completly lost, can you help? it seems that yours are sold out, we are a NGO that works with ecological regeneration, we need help

did you have a phone adapter to sale ?

Any alternatives for europe? Rather not pay 115 usd shipping

Writers Guild of America is awesome 😎

🖤

Ok so... one of my hesitations with starting is about killing the microbes. What do you do with them after you look at them? Is there any saving/returning them or is every microbe i look at doomed to die? I know that James is skilled at saving, storing, and feeding them, but I'm not sure I'm up for that level of involvement...

Hi guys new sub here. Hope this is not too lomg winded. Twenty years ago I was bitten by the astronomy bug, finally resulting in having a twelve inch dobsonian scope. However age and health have resulted in this scope being used very little. A couple of years ago I decided if I cannot look up too well, lets look down. So I strarted to look at a microscope. End result I bought a Chinese knock off from ebay for $25. OK I know I should have known better. The results were disappointing to say the least. This was last Christmas 2022. Deflated I put it back in the box, too late to return it and regretted my purchase. However recently I started to rethink this, I think the review of your recently released scope piqued my interest again. So here is a loaded question. What makes your scope the one I should buy?

What is the price of microscope

Microcosmoscope

I wanted to see what microscope you use for your videos though, but I think the oldest video is 4 years old

Would you be interested in images taken through other branded microscopes?

Finally we know what you look like! Not what I had imagined. 😂

Instructions unclear, bought a telescope :(

I wish I could afford yalls microscope I have one that I got as a kid from 2010 😢

Sold out, i can t buy :(

1:58

The bootyyyyyyyyyyy

cat : }

$350?! too expensive, wow!

the best microscopes are stereo microscope because they give you 3.dimensional impressions. DIC is only a illusion

checked prices, just nope

the best microscope is useless if you dont know how to prepare the specimen

u don't get to be first everyday

background noise is intolerable

Hello, i just purchased this microscope! I cant wait for it get here! My goal is to explore the micro universe around me and share the footage / art of microscopy. Where can i get an attachment for my Sony camer? Thank you for everything you all have done! 🎉👏🦠

You can also do it like me: be too cheap to buy a microscope, so instead you just read outdated microbiology books
