   OMG imagine how amazing it would be to be able to eat like that!

   You can turn off the webcam microphone via control panel.

   I tried it, it works. But I think I will leave it on, this clip was recorded in the field [Heron's Head Salt Marsh] using a Swift FM-31 Field Microscope and Sony Cybershot – the background bird and wind noise was real.

   I hate to say this, but you [and most of the rest of us]probably have at some time or other. Critters like both the bacteria and the ciliate vastly outnumber us and they are everywhere. Even in bottled water. Oops…!

   I’m jealous of your microscope’s magnification abilities. I can only magnify objects at 400x but your microscope can magnify stuff up too 1000x

    This videomicrograph was recorded in the field at 400x with a Swift FM 31 LWD Field Microscope and a Nikon Coolpix 885 digital camera. I do have a larger laboratory microscope, Hoffman Modulation Contrast optics mounted on an Olympus Irvine body, powered by a150W High Intensity Illuminator feeding light through a light pipe into the microscope. Camera for that is a Coolpix P5100. I put the HMC microscope together over a period of 20-years from spare and used parts.

    wow, its amazing footage! can you prod the ciliate with tiny tools?

    Interesting that you ask, KalingA01. I have built a micromanipulator for the field microscope that enables me to take samples of individual bacteria and protozoa, such as this Ciliate. I think a very fine stainless steel fiber could be used to probe the ciliate. I suspect the only reaction from the Ciliate, however, would be quick movement away from the probe.
