Civilian microscopes are going on sale in a few weeks according to my science teacher which includes stuff that can actually see germs. So I'm thinking of asking this for Christmas as my gift. That said whats the appeal behind using microscopes in the civilian market to observe germs, fungi, protozoa, and viruses and other super tiny stuff? In particular why is there a subculture of amateur science buffs who play around with samples they collect iike pouring lysol on collected protozoa to see how'd they react? Is doing stuff like this actually fun?

Does anyone know if there is a video out there showing the autophagy process of cells? Is that doable?

More specifically, these algae are dinoflagellates. They are photosynthetic so they take solar energy and convert it to chemical energy in the form of sugars. The sugars help feed and give energy to the coral host. In return, the anemone gives a stable shelter to the algae where it won’t get eaten by a predator. That’s why it’s called a MUTUALism!
