Revision as of 12:20, 2 February 2021
By considering the biomass[1] and lifespan superiority of some microscopic beings in comparison to us human beings, we can look outside of our mammals’ bubble for a moment. Thus, we reach the bubble of decomposers, beings who make life on this planet possible, out of our sight. Without them, our world is rotten forever, since they recycle everything that was, once, alive. As well as pollinators allow plants to reproduce, decomposers transform organic matter in mineral food for plants, the basic trophic level of most ecosystems.
They are everywhere, and we domesticated some of them to produce our own food, from cheese to bread and wine. However, as apex predators, we exist only because they sustain themselves since millions of years.
Characteristics of the microscope used for this exploration:
- Type: Biological-/ Stereo-type microscope
- Model: BRESSER BioDiscover
- Year of production: 2007
- Magnification table:
Eypiece | Objective | Magnification | with Barlow lens |

5x | 4x | 20x | 40x |
5x | 10x | 50x | 100x |
5x | 40x | 200x | 400x |
16x | 4x | 64x | 128x |
16x | 10x | 160x | 320x |
16x | 40x | 640x | 1280x |
