BlogHide Resteemsozricho (55)in art • 3 years agoArt - Fun with texture1-Aug-2021 Well it seems I have been a bit lax in posting. Time gets away like a litter of greased piglets. Anyway... Of late I have been renewing my interest in art. Previously I have posted…ozricho (55)in science • 5 years agoScience at homeWell it has been a VERY long time since I last posted anything and a lot has changed since then. The world is in the grip of COVID-19 fear but life goes on, albeit very differently. I have actually…ozricho (55)in microscope • 5 years agoLife Under ther Microscope #11Here are two videos I made of Vorticella. These are basically filter feeders. I have posted examples before but these show more detail, especially the vortexes they create near their "mouths" to…ozricho (55)in microscope • 5 years agoLife under the microscope #10After a bit of a break I am back with some more microscope videos I recorded. These are both at a magnification of 40x. This first video shows an organism which is approximately 60 microns in…ozricho (55)in insects • 5 years agoGum snout moth caterpillars raised from eggsHello. I thought I'd share pictures and videos of some moths I raised from eggs last year. The variety is the Gum Snout Moth aka Entometa fervens. I found a female moth that had become trapped in…ozricho (55)in microscope • 5 years agoLife Under the Microscope #9Hi again. Another microscope video I made. This is from another sample of stagnant water. This is a close up of a microorganism called a ciliate. I'm not sure of the exact type ... possibly…ozricho (55)in microscope • 5 years agoLife Under the Microscope #8Hi. I haven't posted in a while but after finding some more interesting critters under the microscope, I had to share. This is from a drop of stagnant water. There are some very large paramecium…ozricho (55)in puzzle • 5 years agoPuzzle Time #1I thought I'd try something different from fractals and microscope videos. Here's a word puzzle... a crossword of sorts. The squares aren't numbered but there are some letters provided as hints.…ozricho (55)in fractals • 5 years agoBeauty in Math - Fractals #10Three more fractals for your perusal. The third one is a good example of repetitive fractal structure even if it's not particularly attractive looking (in my opinion). The fern-like patterns can be…ozricho (55)in microscope • 5 years agoLife Under the Microscope #7Some more microscopic life. Magnification x 400. This video shows a small thread of cyanobacteria. I think the two large spherical structures on the left side are heterocysts which are able to fix…ozricho (55)in fractals • 5 years agoBeauty in Math - Fractals #9Some more fractals from my collection. Enjoy. Richardozricho (55)in microscope • 5 years agoLife Under the Microscope #6Greetings. Still exploring with the microscope. Here are a couple of videos showing cool microbes. I'm not sure exactly what they are though. This next one is pretty amazing. This guy is…ozricho (55)in fractals • 5 years agoBeauty in Math - Fractals #8Hello again. When I first started working with fractals I learned very quickly to record everything I did so that I could recreate any image I wanted at any size without having to digitally…ozricho (55)in fractals • 5 years agoBeauty in Math - Fractals #7Greetings. More fractals. No I'm not obsessed..... much. As I've said previously, a small change in a fractal equation can create startling differences in the images generated. These are some…ozricho (55)in microscope • 5 years agoLife Under the Microscope #5Hello again. More from the microscope, but this time I decided to try something other than microbial life. The first video shows a piece of moss but I had to focus in and out a lot to see the…ozricho (55)in bacteria • 5 years agoLife Under the Microscope #4Two more videos from drain water. The first shows a clump of algal strands with a mass of bacteria swarming around it and the second shows two amoeba slithering around. I showed another amoeba in a…ozricho (55)in biology • 5 years agoLife Under the Microscope #3Hi again. Here are three more microscope videos. These are from a drop of drain water. Magnification factor x400. The first one shows a huge critter... well, at 70 microns across he's huge…ozricho (55)in fractals • 5 years agoBeauty in Math - Fractals #6 (fractal music)Yes another fractal post. I'll post more microscope videos soon though.... and other things. The fractals I have posted so far are graphical representations of complex equations. I could have…ozricho (55)in diatoms • 5 years agoLife under the microscope #2Hi again. A few more microscope videos. The first shows some navicular (boat shaped) diatoms. These are amazing little creatures that have silica skeletons. They are responsible for the…ozricho (55)in amoeba • 5 years agoLife under the microscopeHi. Something other than fractals today. I thought I'd share a couple of microscope videos I took. The first shows paramecium shooting around in a drop of pond slime. Their speed is incredible…
