    Nice video and music choice! Do you know what those medium-sized almost spherical creatures that are moving around might be?

    Nettle mentioned that you are looking for recommendations on what to put on your descriptions. My recommendation is to add the name and author of the music and the technical specifications of the microscope, lenses, and the equipment used to record. The technical details are useful to others to get an idea of the amount of zoom and also to learn the kind of images that a specific set of tools can produce. If you have some thoughts on what the different microbes observable in the sample might be, it is also nice to include that. No need to worry about getting the identification wrong, just mention what you suspect them to be, and this invites others to help you identify what you are looking at. Or, if you have no guess, you can also ask others to help you identify.

      Ah yes I am pretty sure they are a ciliate of some kind, but I may be wrong. Identifying is so hard but so fun because then you can read up of the fella. We’ll sometimes, sometime there is no info. I follow one of those medium guys in this video while much more zoomed in: https://youtu.be/2z2_Qvzrc98

      Also I write all the music. I’ve been pumping out music at an insane pace for these and its been a really fun project. I feel myself learning lol.

      I set it all as creative commons so that anyone could use any of the videos or music if they’d like.

      Also, yeah I can totally put my microscope specs in the description and maybe a zoom multiplier in the corner of the video.
