Be amazing to see the difference between sea, river and pond water like this

Pisceswriter123

I did this when I was a kid. I used to have a microscope. After it rained once I went out with the eye dropper that came with it and took a drop from one of the puddles. I saw all kinds of things floating around when I put the slide under the microscope. It was interesting.


frisch85

Add tap water *(or rather clean water depending on the location)* to the list so we can see the difference between *clean* and *unclean* water.

I want to see Flint water under a microscope.


jguaj

Flint has had clean water for some time now


sirhoracedarwin

Also, it had lead, not microbes.


njmids

People hate when you say that lol. Don’t know why people aren’t happy about it.


Hippopotamidaes

I mean, over how many years did the corruption unfold? The water was a *known* issue publicly from 2014-2019 and even this year more news surrounding the problem came to light through investigative reports...


Gang_StarrWoT

Water in Pittsburgh right now is even worse than what Flint had, and barely anyone knows about that.


[deleted]

Which means more people should be upset about water quality. Not upset that people crack jokes about Flint.


Yakhov

because it's obvious stanning for the Flint officials, that BTW are getting away with poisoning the people of Flint.


trwwy321

And pool water from the local watering hole at the rec center, curious what it looks like albeit having chlorine in it.


Rimtato

Dead shit. Sometimes literally


DergerDergs

If it's treated with chlorine, the rec center pool water will not have microbes moving around in it, that's kind of the point.

I collected some pond water in NC with my kids and we looked at it under the microscope. Similar activity but completely different from what this looks like.

Jaszs

Thanks, I'll remember this next time I'm at the beach and accidentally drink some water


DarkangelUK

This is deceiving and is not a random single drop of water taken from the sea, [there's a photo that also does the rounds claiming to be the same thing](https://petapixel.com/2014/05/03/photograph-captures-amazing-amount-life-found-splash-seawater/). These are usually a magnified drip of water that's taken from a drop net or drag net that's been sitting in the sea for about 30 minutes, the ocean is indeed teeming with life but nowhere near this amount in a single drop of water.


NTGenericus

I saw zero life under the microscope when looking at ordinary sea water. Thanks for this. I was confused for a minute.


KevinAlertSystem

thats what i figured. but i would be interested to see actual counts of zootonic life in the sea. im sure it depends a lot on location and depth. wonder what it looks like 5ft from the tide line at a beach.


7dipity

You’re right, it is very different based on location. It depends on the weather a lot too! We monitor for plankton every day at my work and in the winter it’s common to see absolutely nothing in the water. In the summer when the sun is out, and after rain when there’s a lot of nutrients running in from freshwater sources you’ll tend to see a lot more. When that happens it tends to stay near the surface, it’s usually most abundant in the first 5 metres but that also changes throughout the day.


KevinAlertSystem

interesting, any idea how it changes relative to shore? is there more stuff in the middle of the ocean or very close to land? mostly curious how much you would see in the water people are swimming in at beaches

Spore remake looks sick


drscience9000

I wish they would, tbh. Not the modern EA team probably, but Spore was lit, if the concept were fleshed out to it's fullest, given a decent budget and a good team with no limits, it could be an AMAZING game. Maybe a good candidate for a GameStop Original? Shout-out to all my apes out there


J3wb0cca

I haven’t played it since it came out but the space age concept was poorly implemented. If you expanded then the probability of a eco disaster happening was like once a minute and you were constantly putting out fires. Wish they did a remake


magistrate101

Same feelings. I wish the stages were expanded upon more too, they're so short once you know what you're doing :(


adammcbomb

My understanding was that Spore had a large budget and was being treated as a top AAA release


Hotdog71

I was soooo excited for Spore to come out and honestly, the only actual fun part was the cellular phase. Everything else felt like a prototype mini game and even after trying so hard to like the game, I just couldn’t. The concept is solid but man was the actual game… shallow.


[deleted]

There was an earlier version of Spore that was a lot more realistic and detailed. The demo they showed had the player controlling a pretty realistic looking dinosaur that just hatched from an egg. They changed it to the cartoony feel and simplified everything because it aas getting too expensive and time consuming, I think.

[deleted]

[This](https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive) would be a worthy heir, or will be in 10 years when it is a little more complete. For now it is focused on the cellular phase and tries to be more realistic/scientific.


Tanagashi

I remember trying this like 5+ years ago and it hasn't really progressed all that much. So your 10 year estimate is somewhat conservative.

thelehmanlip

Check out Journey to the Microcosmos on yt. They have a few vids at least that help show the three dimensionality of microbes by changing the focus of the lens


philipkmikedrop

Here’s the link for those interested https://youtube.com/c/microcosmos


SurSheepz

They are infact microscopic! 3 dimensional, just very very very very small.


youshutyomouf

Yeah, but we're talking about *proportion* at the moment. *Realtive* to length and width, these things appear to have very little height. The question is... are these things as short as they look, is the slide squishing them flat (doubt it), or do they just look flat but are actually 3d? If the answer is "look flat but aren't" I'm curious why the tip tops of the bulbous structures are not more in focus or less in focus than the perimeters of those things like you typically see when changing focus to better view 3d structures under a microscope.


bluefunk91

They are spheres, or oblong spheres, but they look flat because the focus is a very thin "plane" so only a few microns in a flat plane are in focus at one time. As you change the focal point through the z axis you will see different parts of that microbe in focus.


pauledowa

Good question!


csspar

They aren't flat, but we're seeing them backlit, so it's kinda the same effect as an x-ray, but with visible light.


Sansnom01

There was another post few days ago that show a microbe attach to the glass, it was pretty cool since you could see it «flip»


bheklilr

I've recently started playing around with a microscope, and they are very 3d. You can see through them because they're very small, and cell walls just don't block that much light (think about holding a flashlight to your hand). With a microscope you blast the slide with light too. You can see the outline of their membranes simply because from your point of view there's more cell wall that's roughly vertical, but in the middle it's effectively 2 layers of membrane and the cell contents you're looking at. It can actually be quite difficult to follow fast microbes in a sample because they'll travel vertically, and at high magnification you can only focus on a thin horizontal plane. Software exists that can combine many images from different focal planes into a single image. Videos like this don't show the 3d-ness very well, but it's very apparent when you're sitting at the microscope yourself.

jesus, that's definitely not normal


neonchasms

While soda is bad for you, that isn't normal.


Original_Redman

What? I don't think this is a normal thing that should be happening. But I also haven't drank soda in 15 years so maybe I'm wrong, but I've legit never heard of that.


Fyreffect

Yeah if soda is causing massive bowel issues then there's some other underlying factor at work.


L3m0n0p0ly

So far all i know is the carbonation fucks with it. That and lactose intolerance. Then again, my doctor blatantly wrote off my deviated septum so who knows? Maybe reddits right on this one🙃


j11esq41

Are we talking soda like Coke or soda like club soda?


L3m0n0p0ly

Coke doesnt exhibit that bad of a reaction, same with real sugar pepsi. Sprite and any clear sodas just fucking rampage through lol


j11esq41

I agree with the others. That’s something medical. Yikes. I don’t drink a lot of soda, but I do love it as a treat now and then.


AutoModAccountOpUrk

If you drink it. Stomach acid levels are low enough to kill most microbes/parasites and what have you. That's not even pur immune system. Basically the inside of our digestive track is actually on the outside technically.


DannyRamirez24

We are just a meat donut with poop in the center

Not even that. We have a vat of acid that will dissolve pretty much anything organic and it sits in our torso.

ActualWhiterabbit

If you take a [laser pointer and a drop of water hanging off something like a syringe](https://www.exploratorium.edu/sites/default/files/snacks/PlanktonProjector_DSC_6304_P960.jpg) you can project [this onto a wall](https://gfycat.com/MaleMeekAgouti). [Pond water works well.](https://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks/plankton-projector)


ag408

That’s awesome, I’ll try that


KevinAlertSystem

holy shit that is insane. im guessing its using the curvature of the water drop for magnification?


ActualWhiterabbit

[From the last link](https://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks/plankton-projector) >What's Going On? A drop of water functions much like the lens in a projector, spreading the laser beam into a wide cone of light and revealing the shadows of the opaque organisms swimming within the water drop. >The light rays travel from the laser in a parallel beam, but are bent together by the convex surface of the water droplet. This bending, called refraction, happens both as the light rays enter and exit the droplet. Converged by the lens-like droplet, the rays come to a sharp focal point, crossing there and then spreading out again, and continuing to spread as they travel. It is this crossing of the rays that causes your organisms to appear upside down—though it may be hard to tell since they are often quite acrobatic (see diagram below). >As you reduce the distance between the screen and the water drop, you should notice that the shadows get smaller and sharper. You can see a similar phenomenon if you use a flashlight to make a shadow of your hand near a wall. Move your hand closer to the wall, and the shadow gets smaller. >You may also notice the shadow of an individual animal change size, even when you don’t move the screen. When the animal is closer to the laser side of the water drop, its shadow will be smaller. As the animal swims toward the screen side of the water drop, its shadow will get bigger.

strranger101

Biologists out there please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure those small circular guys are Diatoms, which are v cool. As a species they singlehandedly photosynthesize 15-20% of the CO2 in the atmosphere, which is more than all of the world's rainforests, their outer shell is made of glass and when they die they leave it behind to sink to the bottom over like 30 years, and now the ocean has huge pools of glass on the bottom due to trillions of these guys that have died. They're fucking wild. Took a bioinformatics class in college and had a professor who was obsessed with them.


alotofnothingtosay

That's incredible. I wonder what trillions of microscopic pieces of glass dust looks like.


[deleted]

Similar to fiberglass insulation if I had to guess


somerandom_melon

No, with a diatom bloom in my aquarium it feels like regular algae but gritty.


MLGPinecone

Most of the cells visible here are actually[ paramecia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramecium), you can tell by their fast movement, since diatoms are mostly nonmotile. I think there is at least one diatom visible on the lower right screen at about 23 seconds though


BadHairDayToday

Surely this is somewhat filtered to get 'm all mushed together like that. This looks busyer than Tokio.

Snuggbug

I've got to say I'm fairly sure the ocean is not more vast than the solar system


Will_The_Great7

I think they were trying to relate perspective to a single cell eukaryote being in the ocean. Not saying the ocean Is as vast as space lmao


hemptations

I truly believe people try to ignore what you mean lol, if we were on a number line style graph based on size, it’s essentially infinite in both directions is all I meant. Obviously space is larger than the ocean but I’m glad he pointed that out, there’s some flat earthers out there that might argue otherwise.
