Thanks Tom for your input. Mostly I like to watch the pond water life and other standing water. The more I hear about this naegleri fowleri the more worried I become about playing with this standing water. I've read where 3 boys have died already this season due to that amoeba. I don't really unders...

Your video makes me never want to post another video again...... very impressive. For some reason I can't get that performance by holding my droid up to the eye piece..

Thanks for your bid, any other bid's out there? Another thing I was thinking is that maybe culturing means to have a sample of maybe dirt or lent and putting it in a culture medium in order to cultivate whatever organisms that may be in the sample..... I'm confused really about this. Do we have in r...

I have a question about the word culture as far as mircro-biology. When you create a culture, does this mean you have a sample and you are trying to grow what is in the sample that you have or does it mean you create a culture in hopes to obtain something you don't already have? I've been reading so...

any guesses on what type these are?

lol... sorry, I'm trying to get it right. try again, think I have it right now

think I fixed it, try again

Not sure what kind these are. Thought I would share. Cool to watch

well... I just read where 2 more kids died due to Naegleria fowleri. Something I found cruel and odd, while I was reading about these 2 children I read where someone or a group of researchers put this stuff up the nose of 7 sheep and all 7 died. I mean really did they have to kill all 7 of the sheep...

Thanks! Next time I'll try to get a closer view of this guy. I find them a lot in my area. I'm thinking if I keep looking I'm going to run across the naegleria fowleri amoeba. Water temperature is already above 80 degrees in my area and I like checking out water samples. I've read where they live in...

thank you very much!

how do I move this post?... might be in the wrong place

Sorry my microscope is not the best... You can see how this thing moves. I got this out of a pail of water sitting outside. This is a sample right off the very top of the water level.

what is this thing? found it in some mud puddle

I don't mean to beat a dead horse here... but I have another question. Maybe I need to be set straight on what a culture is of an amoeba. When I read about cultures, I am lead to believe that if I take some water in a dish and leave it outside for a couple of days and these amoeba just appear?? Can ...
