Хантер Хайнс из Флориды занимается микробной экологией и создает ролики с участием микроорганизмов уже почти два года.

Хайнс проводит свои исследования в теплых водных экосистемах, в таких, например, как пруды Флориды. Согласно сайту института океанологии Флориды, где Хайнс получил степень бакалавра, учёный открыл несколько новых видов в США и Африке.

Here is a Tardigrade laying its eggs. Did you know they could do this?!This microscopic animal sheds its cuticle and deposits it’s eggs into its old skin. These famously tough creatures are also pretty cute don’t you think? Found on a microbial mat in a freshwater Florida spring, and viewed under 200X DIC. Animal is about half a millimeter in length. #tardigrade #tardigrades #egg #eggs #mother #laying #microbe #microbes #microscopic #microbiology #science #pondlife #cute #adorable #alien #biodiversity #ecology #animal #wildlife #creature #catchoftheday #wiggle #odd #phd #research #tiny #claws #tough #waterbear #bear

How do Ciliates move? with cilia! Hair like projections that beat and create a water current for movement and feeding, arranged in intricate rows. Some genera appear to crawl. This species is magnified 400x under Phase-contrast microscopy, which reveals the cilia as dark strands surrounding this single cell microbial eukaryote. From a freshwater spring. #ciliate #cilia #protist #protozoa #microbe #microbial #microbiology #movement #oddlysatisfying #cell #cellbiology #pondlife #pink #hair #life #biodiversity #singlecell #nature #wildlife #science #microscopy #motion #species #wiggle #cute #evolution #phase #microbes

Here is a view of an adorable Tardigrade crawling on a slide magnified 200x. This cute microbial eukaryote is a tough animal with claws, known as a “water bear”. Famous for their resilience, I picked this one off a freshwater microbial mat in Florida. Viewed with brightfield microscopy. #tardigrade #tardigrades #waterbear #creature #microbe #cute #adorable #bear #claws #animal #wildlife #pondlife #microbiology #space #science #phd #alien #nature #biodiversity #wildlife #microscopic #micro #florida #life #biotechnology #microscope #earth #species

This pink flatworm is a microbial eukaryote. The Platyhelminth excretes some waste out of its anterior end, towards the end of this video. Note the two eyespots on this cute species magnified 200x and viewed with brightfield. I collected this from a freshwater Florida pond. #worm #worms #planaria #pink #ootd #vomit #science #microbiology #gradschool #microbe #pondlife #wiggle #fat #thicc #bio #flatworm #freshwater #algae #microbes #ecology #wildlife #wildlifephotography #animal #creature #life #species #ecosystem
