For anyone wondering - he said on Twitter that this was filmed in March, before he found out, so him looking at a lymph node is really just a wild coincidence!

Man just microscoped his personal enemy, taking a good look of what he' setting out to overcome. Best of luck on your future journey!

Get well soon Hank ❤❤❤

This hits different knowing what Hank is battling right now We love you, Hank.. and we're all rooting for you. Thanks, always, for your infectious joy for learning

You sound so different between SciShow where you more 'excited and upbeat' and Microcosmos where you are much more 'quiet and thoughtful'. I almost didn't recognize your voice the first time I watched Micro. This particular vid is all excited and upbeat and the norm I'm used to. I like both versions of presentation, but the Micro is so soothing, almost meditative. Just thought I'd tell ya.

I hope you are able to get better and heal Hank. I love all your content. You've done so much for science education. Take care of yourself first.

Hank is such a dork and I love it

i was so happy to see hank! get well soon

Hank looking at lymph nodes hits a bit hard.

I had no idea Hank ran this channel because he uses such a chill voice here

I just got mine 3 days ago. Been really enjoying playing with this and getting a feel for it

Thank you to the whole team for your work to make the microcosmos more accessible for everyone!

6:56 "Now I've put in the lymph nodes...boy I know nothing about histology" oh no...buddy you're about to learn...

Want!

Could you make a video on the process of designing this microscope, and the whole process of getting these into production? I'd be very interested to see the decisions made between accessible cost vs quality components when making a product designed to be the first real leap into hobbyist microscopy

i laughed a little too hard at the "1x" magnification reference at the beginning

oh, jeez, knowing about what's going on, that you're microscoping a lymph node - that's rough. best wishes, Hank.

A movable stage sounds great after using my old microscope where I have to move the slide around by hand, while also pushing down or pulling up on the stage to focus lol. Can't wait to upgrade, this video has my excitement boiling over.

Thanks for always making my journey to the microcosmos a super chill experience.

I didn't realise it was you. Love you're work

Hank we are here because of your enthusiasm curiosity and desire to inform others of what you learn! Much comfort and support to you as you enter the battle with Lymph-gone bad, and any time you want to poke your head out we will be here cheering you on! Thank you for the demo, shivering black bell thumbs up,

Absolutely biology pilled

Really interesting and educational as ever, Hank. Brilliant stuff, as ever! Thanks to all the team. Cheers from England.

We love you Hank, do you what you love!

Love you Hank! Get well soon!

I ordered you microscope and it just arrived! I’m really exited to open it (on my birthday) so what microscope tips do you recommend?

Speedy recovery, Hank. Love you😘

Love you guys, and love you Hank! Thanks for all that you do, wonderful people you are

Hi Hank, I have an astronomy telscope, with a smart phone adapter, that does basicly the same thing as your microscope phone adapter. I find it works much better to take the eyepiece off of the telescope, clamp the adapter and the phone on the eyepiece, and then put a bright surface behind it, like a white piece of paper, while I align the phone, with the camera turned on. That way, I can more easily center the phone on the eyepiece. I can see the edges of the light coming thru the eyepiece, and center it, and it does not need to be in focus at this time. After the phone camera is centered, I can put the whole unit (phone, adapter and eyepiece) back on the telescope. I am wondering if that process would help with the microscope as well.

Thank you for sharing your new toy,it's a beauty. I wish you many, many, many years of fun Hank.

"I tell you, I know nothing about Histology" - the universe seems to have taken that as a challenge- how to make Hank learn with a John level urgency about a field of medicine.

One day, I'll buy that! Looks great! Thanks for the video

I had no idea Andrew Huang did stuff like this. I love his work and man the synthy doops fit so well. Great stuff.

Thank you for getting started us all on this journey!

Look! It's Hank the goofy science guy! ❤

Microscopes are the best, as a hematologist I can't imagine working without one, it makes work way more interesting. Best of luck with your therapy

Hey get-well-soon hank love the stuff love all the different shows your on man

Get well soon, Hank 🙏

That absolutely is the best part of buying stuff: unpacking and meticulous setup. So fun! Thanks for sharing the bizarre world with us, Hank 😊. May this fulfillment sorry you through the next few months.

Nerdfighter since 2013 here… It took me like 50 episodes to realize that it was hank’s voice, its so soothing! ill get a microscope now!

I was broke while the kickstarter was going for the microcosmos scope and when i wasnt broke the scope wasnt available for purchase yet so i got an amscope b490 to start my micro journey, happy to be a patreon supporter though and got a hydra shirt from the microstore. Looking forward to seeing what videos people send you using the journey to the microcosmos scope!

Exciting stuff!

I hope everything works out for you Hank. 🙏 I’ve learned a lot from your work :)

We love you Hank!

Awesome!

This is awesome! I remember as a child my parents got me a little microscope and I thought it was so fascinating finding new things to put under... Perhaps I'll get back into it 😂

Thank you for including a manual! Some of us still like our information in hard copy!

gotta save up for one of these. always wanted my own microscope

I'm so looking forward to seeing what some people capture! Like a little community showcase.

awesome!

You and your team always doing a great job about microbial popular science!!

My orders arrived today 😊. Two posters, Rheinberg filters, Homo Sapiens sweatshirt and diatom shirt. I also got a notification that my microscope has shipped today. I am so happy and excited for my microscope. Maybe that’s my microscope and Hank signed it 😊.

This is great! I'm looking forward to getting one soon.

QUESTION - I was actually drafting an email to Complexly & James right when they announced this video was coming out, so I put it on hold and have been waiting!! I need something that I can use with my left hand. Or mostly use my left hand. Looks like the focus is Bilateral. Yay! But what about the slide tray? Can it be moved with the left hand? Or can a left handed slide tray be purchased & exchanged? I haven't used a microscope in almost 30 years... Can most of the things be done left handed? Unfortunately, I have nerve damage in my right hand from multiple sclerosis. I am investigating new hobbies since I can no longer do most things. Microscopy is at the top of my list. Along with doing scent work with my dog... If anyone knows and could answer I would really appreciate it. Otherwise, I will send my email along anyway...

Mine just arrived and I’m having a blast!

What a cool thing!

Big shout out to you, Mike.

Journey To The Microcosmos is one of a handful of amazingly high quality channels on KZfaq. Everyone from the team and the wider Complexly team should be crazy proud of the content they pump out for us (for free!) 🎉 Best wishes Hank in your health journey in the coming months x

Such a great initiative to make a high quality small microscope, if I wasn't on my first year I'd definitely give it a try to save up for one myself!

Looks great 🔬

I love your show, it's one of my favorites on KZfaq & your commentary on the videos is perfect you're like the David Atembourough of the microcosmos.

That phone mount looks so much better than the one that came with mine! Where can I get the new one?

That's a lovely washer and dryer you have there

I never even considered a microscope, thought i was priced out. This is something I'll definitely be buying, thank you!

Hank "I know nothing about histology" Universe "Oh, let me help you with that"

I bought the upgraded one. I am excited 😊

I love it when the Stentor music kicks in

Wait Hank Green narrates this channel? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS???

I highly recommended getting some replacement dust covers that will fit. If you have long eyelashes like myself I advise that you get yourself some lenses with eye cups that are long enough to keep your eyelashes out of lens.

Getting one for my daughter soon as I think she'll handle it safely lol. Amazing product cannot wait!

great!

Ordered one! I didn’t see what happened, but I hope you get well soon!

This channel is my favourite thing that you do

After awhile I noticed I was calmer, THEN I realized there was calming music playing. Thanks for that.

I already have a swift but i might pick up one of these to support the channel! Also, i wouldn’t mind having another either, so it’s a win win.

This happened even before the office renovation too. Wow!

Me and my brother got one to share and we love it so far!

For future versions a better foam for transport would be awesome

Maybe I'm just old now...but I expected these to be MUCH MUCH more expensive than they are. The temptation has suddenly greatly increased. Darn that inner child who always wanted a microscope.

I always wanted my own binocular microscope. These are so much better than we had as kids many decades ago. Histology is something one never gets tired of, it is truly fascinating.

I love mine, only thing is when I spilled oil on the shutter it ended up cloggikg then rusting so I can't really adjust the apature anymore which is anoying. Not sure if anyone know how to get that fixed

Coolio. like a kid in a candy store. This is how I feel when I get new aquarium stuff and start new aqua projects. 😁

This microscope looks brilliant! I tried to get a phone mount for mine at work, but it didn't fit & wasn't adjustable. Might have to order one. Other than that this is pretty similar to mine.

Oh my, the Games with Hank background, haven't seen that in a while XD

Incredible timing. Ive been looking for a microscope and it's so hard to understand the products out there.

Can we use this as a hacky metallographic microscope? Like, shine a light into one eyepiece, so that we can illuminate opaque objects through the objective itself? Too much reflections from internal optics maybe?

Awesome! Going to make a goal to get one😂

Yeah, science!

KZfaq didn't show me this when it came!! I want one!

Imma have to save for one, I’ve always wanted one. I had a cheap one but it was stolen when I moved unfortunately. Ty for the amazing content!! Stay blessed

Love you hank!

Just a note: this video was recorded in march

we love hank we love hank

my one complaint, is the immersion oil lid popped off the bottle while I was applying some to a slide and spilled all over the stage, and into the diaphragm. Aside from that unfortunate event I love my microscope and I was able to get the oil off with lens cleaner.

suggestion for the store.... a water bottle sticker that says "WARNING: Tardigrade Habitat"

Man I want one of these, I can't wait until I can finally afford one.

How did I not realize that you were a part of this channel too 😂❤ I’ve fallen asleep to these videos for years now so embarrassing 😅

So cool 🔬🦠

Well i'm sold and going to get this as my birthday present, what a bargain!

I want one!
