![The Microbes of my Coffee Machine
I found many microorganisms in the biofilm growing in the coffee machine. I found single-celled algae (possibly diatoms), and even amoeba! [Video: 296]

![This microbe explodes
You will be able to see what happens when a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide is added to water microorganisms. Hydrogen peroxide is a strong disinfectant that can cause microbes to explode due to oxidative stress. Observe the effects of hydrogen peroxide on these microorganisms and learn about the process of oxidative stress. [Video 251]

![Microscopy Questions and Answers | MHPodcast 041
[1:11] Have you ever mixed a bacterial sample with blood to see white blood cells destroy them?
[4:50] You sometimes mention that you avoid using oil immersion for fear of accidentally running other objectives into the oil. Why not simply remove the other objectives first to prevent this from happening?
[8:52] I was wondering how difficult it would be to salvage parts from other non-working Olympus BH microscopes.
[13:49] Do microscopes exist that have a vacuum between the objective and the slide?
[17:22] Do you have a video on obsidian?
[19:01] I have a question about isolating a specimen from the slide. Is there a way to do this with minimal risk, or is it just inherently difficult?
