1:24 "ABBE" is not an acronym. It is the guy's name! Ernst Karl Abbe HonFRMS (23 January 1840 - 14 January 1905) was a German businessman, optical engineer, physicist, and social reformer. Together with Otto Schott and Carl Zeiss, he developed numerous optical instruments. He was also a co-owner of Carl Zeiss AG, a German manufacturer of scientific microscopes, astronomical telescopes, planetariums, and other advanced optical systems.
I am confused what microscope to buy, can some help me with a model number so I can just go and purchase. thanks in advance for for your help
God bless you for sharing this information Dr. Elaine!
3:15 ALL SPECIFICATIONS IN THIS MINUTE. COST $350 BINOCULAR 10X WIDE FIELD 4X SCANING LENS, 10-20X & 40X OBJECTIVE ( TOTAL 400 ) ABBI CONDENSER 1.5 MINIMAL
It says Numerical Aperture 1.25 for the Abbe condenser, not 1.5
@@onegrapefruitlover I got a SWIFT380B for 150$ US, new/open box. Work perfectly for soil analysis.
Hi Dr Elaine could you please recommend a good microscope for soil biology as there seems to be so much choice. I definately need to be able to take images ideal linked to a dslr camera for high resolution. Many thanks
You could use SWIFT380T or similar. 'T' stand for trinocular. So you could but your DSLR in that third hole. I do have the SWIFT380B 'B' for binocular, and it's perfect for my sol analysis. (I paid 150$ for new/open box on Amazon, from Swift).
I see I am viewing this video 12 yrs later. It keeps dropping in and out of sound. Ugh.
Levenhuk 400B you can use
2023!
Actually about to start my PhD work in Microbiology..This video really helped me..Thank you.😊
Is there any software hooked up to a microscope that counts and identifies bacteria and fungi as the microscope goes through a series of movements automatically?
Digging it!
Dr. Ingham...after switching over from the dark side.....golf course construction and maintenance...i met the guy across the Hwy we live on who started Native Soil Companyin Franklin, TN....and my microscope came in and here we are. About to take a deep dive. And we want to thank you.
Help! Is their an update? I can’t find a microscope with all the features mentioned in the video. Even the M8311. The shadowing or differential…
did you find one
@@treymurphy6398 I gave up looking
@@queuemaster Don't give up buddy! You don't have to get DIC, it's overkill for soil analysis. I use SWIFT380 and it's perfect for the job (got it at 150$ US, new/open box shipping next day inc.) There is other great scope in this price range such as AMSCOPE. What is important: ABBE 1.25 condenser + adjustable diaphragm, LED, mechanical stage and binocular (trinocular if you wanna do picture with DSLR). I have the binocular and use my phone to take video or photo if needed. Look at MicrobeHunter to get more info.
Shouldn't it be 1g of soil to 9ml of water to account for different densities of individual soil samples?
Can someone PLEASE tell me what she means when she said "Shadowing or Differential Interference Contrast" I really don't want to get something that will barely work. I dont think she means darkfield, and DIC is hard to find or too expensive. I've been looking for months. i have talked to dozens of people and no one can give me a straight answer.
You are right, it is DIC, but it's overkill for soil sample. A general bright field like SWIFT380 is perfect for the job. You also get a small filter holder to put a darkfield filter (DIY) and get even more option.
What magnification range of the microscope u r using please.. thanks
How do you identify the fields and boundaries of the fields?
The field is 100% of what you see in the microscope without moving the slide. But you can do whatever you prefer. Just stay constant. If you have the image on your computer, you can make it rectangle and it will be easier to calculate the bacteria compare to a round field.
Would an Olympus EC be a good purchase?
Anyone signed up for the class yet and got a new recommendation for a Microscope and Camera Combo?
I’d like to know too!
So it’s a 1/9 part not a 1/10 part
10 parts. One part soil nine water. Rly not that complicated 🤣
1:10 dilution. 1 mL sample material + 9 mL water = 10 total mL. 1:9 ratio. 1 mL sample material + 9 mL water is 1 to 9 ratio. Dr Elaine is explaing dilution. Ratio is different. Hope that helps.
You say 1 part to 10 but then say it’s 1 part to nine parts. Pretty sure that’s wrong
💪💪
Major question answered here - early spring (soil cold) = less activity / greeblies. Thanks!
I bought a trinocular scope amd put it together, but there was no packing list. I have a little blue lens in a tiny zip-loc...does that go under the plate, facing the light?
i love dirt :) its so dirty and amazing
I love soil not dirt
Thankyou so much for what you have done. Taking the time to ask the right questions for the rest of us.
Thank you so Much!! 😊
Well crap. I acquired an old Nikon from University surplus, cleaned it all up-and began looking at things. 40x and 100x are pretty easy to deal with but when I go to 400x the floaters in my eye become the most fascinating thing in view. I've dimmed the room lights to help, but it doesn't really. Is there any way to reduce the visibility of my own floaters?
Recently heard that the supplement MSM helps clear up floaters. Check out Dr. Berg here on UA-cam.
In Chinese Medicine, they say that floaters are usually a Liver related issue. After going to an Oriental Medical Doctor (OMD or DOM, Doctor of Oriental Medicine), I no longer have floaters. The Liver has a major influence on eye health. Liver is capitalized in Chinese Medicine because it includes much more than the liver organ. I hope you can resolve your floater issue.
@@bobbiejofouts1708You do know that chinese medicine is not science, or medicine, right? It's spiritual metaphysics and folk myths. Do you also recommend trepanation for headaches? WTF???
@@thetruth45678 this all depends on how you define medicine. They use a reasoning to figure things out, like inductive reasoning. The scientific method is not the end all, be all in figuring things out. If they did not help people get well, the doctors in many areas of China would not survive. In their culture, if someone gets sick while under an Oriental Medical Doctor's care, the doctor ceases to be paid. It is not some kind of backward mysticism. Yes, the West presents it that way to drive people away from that healing. Westerners primarily treat the symptoms they call disease and falsify studies to ruin us. And, we think we're so smart.
@@bobbiejofouts1708 It is not medicine or science. It is metaphysics and folk myths. Your anti-west lies are not going to win any converts. Kick rocks, Lee.
Would I be better of with a swift SW380B 40x-2500x, or an Omax XM82ESC02 40x-2000x????? Choosing one now!
How is your choice turning out for you? I am browsing options now. Thanks :)
@@2HAYEZ I went with swift SW 380B Ppl comparing that one to the old 350 B, which is still supposed to be real good, but like 50 bucks more for the new one and everyone loves it, I know I do. Image is very crisp, easy smooth slide adjustment too. I dont think I would have been happier with any other option this thing is pretty nice. I mean I dont have much experience to compare to other ones but, I'm more than happy with this one I'll tell ya that.
What happens if I shake my sample for a lesser time but much more aggressively? Can one speed up that process or will aggressive shaking cause problems?
I know she will never see this, but I know a trick on starting threads like that. Here for everybody: get everything lined up close and then turn the male part backwards-until you feel or hear the click. Stop. Then turn proper into the threads and engage will be nearly instant. The click is when the ends of both threads pass each other whilst being pushed together. That sets them up for a fast engagement. If you don't find the click then you're not mating the leading threads together in the first place, try for better alignment and keep back turning until you find it. This is most helpful with threaded plastics and other soft materials where cross-threading could most easily occur.
I hope that leg healed. I just purchased a triocular microscope for the Soil Web online course
Thanks a lot,
There are some reference material you particularly reccomend? Thankyou, beautiful classes
How can you have so little visualization ?
I want to buy a microscope what should I get? I will be using it for soil.
I just want to thank both you and Dr. Ingham for making this public :D
A microscope is definitely on my things to do list for this year. I'm guessing the water used to prepare the soil sample isn't tap water but distilled!
very bad noise like a bull in china shop very distracting
You're the best!
Dr. Elaine is a very intelligent woman. I like that everybody is commenting about not being able to see what she's looking at. The funny thing is you don't need to see it! Just listening is enough and I completely understand what she's talking about.
Meredith shows us. Meredith was trained under Dr. Ingham. I didn't expect to see anything here. I'm still shopping microscopes. Would LOVE to find more soil microbiology observation videos.
MY LEFT EAR!
Thanks from poland
can i use distilled water?
❤️
why would you not show us what your looking at i mean i beleive you but i want to see so i can unstand what you are talking about that make cents cocksi i want know how to idenife the different bacteria please your smart women that i can see but you need better delivery system i say this because want to be able help people understand this to and get excited about get otheres to get excited about composting or starting a worm farm i have had some sucess on face book on the cannabis feild farm and medcines and how microbbes is the starting put but i am know weres near smart enough i mean i cant even type proproly i learn so much from your videos and not that you nead it but i have putting you name and videos out there as much as i can for the last year well cents january .11 .2018
Beauty is in the soil of the farmer
Wow! that was quite of ear-opener. It was indeed fascinating. I learned so much in 15 minutes... I feel I am a soil expert already. :) Thank you, Dr. Ingham.
Fabulous demonstration for a soil analysis.
