I'd like to query my science wiz's out there if they can verify what they see here is indeed brownian motion. Very sorry for the blurry footage. This is eye drops mixed with metylene blue (which may also contain foreign contaminants of some kind). 400x magnification with homemade darkfield filter, and the vid is sped up 2x. I've seen motion similar to this, but in this case, I was messing with higher magnification ranges than usual and I had to finesse the focus quite a bit to get this action to show up at all. If it's brownian; excellent. I'm not savvy enough to say for sure, and it looks a bit different from what I imagine brownian motion to exhibit. Very interested to hear others thoughts so please chime in. Thank you.

Hi Will, def not a science whizzer but the 2 objects at 7 and 53 seconds are the ones that cannot be explained by brownian as they are travelling (schitzofrenetically - new term) in a stationary fluid. The others being focused on could be argued as brownian but personally i doubt thats the case their either.
Will some of the tiny movements could be Protids or Chylomicrons. Not clear enough to judge. Play with that focus some more. I sure had to when I started my journey looking at my own blood. I'm so glad you have jumped into this microworld. Keep up the exploration it will get better!
