I found a tub of coleslaw in the fridge, it was three weeks past its use by date. Instead of eating it I put some of the liquid in the tub under the microscope. Needless to say, I decided not to eat it. I’m not a bacteriologist but I think the movement seen here must be bacteria, it certainly didn’t smell very good.

My first time using oil immersion, it went well. Not as scary as I thought it might be and no objectives were damaged in the filing of this clip.

Microscope used: Swift SW380T
Objective: 100x using oil immersion
Camera: 5 megapixel SwiftCam
