Superb! I admire your stage control... or are you cheating and
using a joy stick? Either way, you've made a beautiful
production, both informative and entertaining.

I've started maintaining cultures of these critters. With the
help of "Blepharisma..." by Geise I hope to induce some giants.
Who could resist viewing Giant Pink Cannibals in action?

I do appreciate the effort you've put into this.

Hi Bogdan,
thank you for showing!
I got a bit dizzy when watching the video when reading the text while a sudden movement occured. May be the text would be more useful on intermediate text frames befor the video continues.

Thanks Brad,

I'm not using any joystick, l'm doing everything manually.
To be honest, my own opinion is that my stage control with this scope is not nearly good enough because the stage on the Diaphot os very big because it's old I think I have to put it to bits one day, clean it and regrease the mechanics.
In any case, it all comes by practice, it's really not a big deal.

I think pausing the video when showing the info is not a solution, there must be something else to resolve the issue.
Maybe adding shorter text would help?

Thanks a lot for the tip.
Tried it first time with the link and I thought is not working.
Modified it now and works a treat.

Hi Bogdan,
may be a bit shorter texts combined with a more fluid movement of the stage will do the job.
Apart from that the video is great!
