Note: I am not knowledgeable enough on ciliate behavior to be confident that these ciliates are in fact "having a good time". The ciliates in blue are likely following some sort of gradient, my guess is oxygen. Therefore there is likely a range of comfortably within the ciliates in blue.

I really appreciate the work you put into making these videos. I love your microscopy, for one thing.

Awe shoot, thanks so much. It's very much a passion project and I enjoy pretty much every aspect of it. I'm really glad you like the videos so much.

This space is quite general in scope - microscopes, microbiology, small component electronics, questions about buying optical components, etc.
