I believe you will need to go much higher magnification to get to see what you want. What you can do is take sterile water and then blend the tissue with the water droplet to see the organisms. I have done this when looking at worm castings. I have no clue what I am looking at but let me give you a link to my compost tea video.
Thanks Mark for sharing this with us.
I am wondering if that is plant vien you are looking at.
wow. Lots of info. More please.
You'll notice that your seedlings are purple on the undersides of the leaves. This is typically a sign of a phosphorus deficiency caused by overly low temperatures in the seedlings. They really want it to be warmer than what temperature you've been growing them, so they can uptake phosphorus better. So then when you put it under the microscope, I think you're just seeing the purplish cells showing through to the top. Your plants will outgrow this condition just fine as they develop a bigger root system and larger leaves to uptake more water and nutrients from the soil.
At 4:30 in the video you can see what I believe to be a stoma just to the right of the purplish area. This is where the plant can exchange water and gasses with the atmosphere. It is whitish with a slit in the middle.
I am not a plant physiologist, but I do grow tomatoes for a living.
Are you looking for Lactobacillus?
What ever it is, it looks cool. Amazing what a tomato leaf looks like when magnified. Thanks for sharing, Mark.
I was going to say that it kind of looks like a plant version of a lymphatic system. Have you heard about plant neurobiology?
Interesting!
At the end there, that looks like a trichome. Found a page here: http://www-plb.ucdavis.edu/labs/rost/tomato/leaves/leafanat.html – near bottom of page. Like you said, a leaf hair. Really neat, Mark… learning a LOT 🙂 Thank you so much!
Don't look too close at your food you might not want to eat it
Fascinating…the worlds within our world! Thanks for sharing!
Nice work Mark I appreciate this. Tomatoes are started now and aren’t quite as big as yours, but all of them have their second leaf. Some of mine are purple too. It’s the beefsteaks.
Very interesting. I love learning from other garden geeks like me. 🙂
Great information in an easy to understand format. Thanks for sharing and all of the comments are part of the learning process.
That dark colour might indicate lack of certain mineral I will look it up in my plant deficiency book
It would be interesting to see if it eventually turn yellow and brown.
Hey Mark, Love all your vids…thanks so much. Unrelated to this particular video…I have a question. I've planted some bok choy in a grassy patch that had recently taken over a section of my raspberries. As a test to the plants working in harmony as opposed to combative principle, I stuck them in minimally invasively. For a quick growing species, they're moving quite slow. Anyway, I keep trimming this grass down ever few days with my battery powered hand sheers and it seems like way too much time being spent as it adds up. How do I uninvasively terminate this grass without destroying the working ecology? I'm also in zone 6a/b.
Awesome info!
Loveley Man.. U truley are an extention to my sight on the bigger picture..
