A scientist in the US showed off the amazing hidden side of various fungi, plants and other lifeforms when viewed under a microscope.

In this cool footage, Adolfo Sanchez-Blanco from Hartford, Connecticut, views lichen through a microscope and highlights the fungi and algae coexisting.

He explained: "Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of fungi and algae. In this video, I dissect a lichen to see the algae and the fungi living together under the microscope."

He added: "On one hand, the fungus gets its food from the photosynthetic alga. On the other, the alga depends on the fungus for water and minerals. So, they both benefit by coexisting."

Other insights include water bears and even a close look at a slice of onion.

'Scientific educator Adolfo Sanchez-Blanco has conducted a number of simple, cool, and fun experiments to post on his TikTok channel and this video is no different either.
In this clip, he places the onion epidermis under the microscope to show what the onion cells look like.
Adolfo said: "This video shows the beautiful patterns of plant cells under the microscope. I used an onion to show how plant cells form tissues."
The nucleus and cell wall are clearly visible at the end of the footage.

'In this clip, scientist Adolfo Sanchez-Blanco gives his audience a microscopic view of the oddly cute water bears.

"This video portrays water bears (Tardigrades)," Adolfo said. "Water bears are very unique microscopic animals. They have only around 1000 cells and are incredibly resistant to all kinds of extreme conditions. They can even survive in outer space!"

This fun footage was filmed on March 25, 2021, and is one of the many cool scientific clips Adolfo has posted for the world to see.
