Something useful I learned with this timelapse is how difficult it can be to manipulate the slime mold. I tried using different arrangements and amounts of oat in each dish but at the end every dish turned out different than  expected.

Microscopy of Physarum Polycephalum

Slime Mold contaminated with mold

Most of the petri dishes I brought home became contaminated with some sort of silky mold. My first timelapse turned out pretty bad with lots of light flickering and shadows moving.

Next time I will try a darker background and artificial lighting. I also realized trying to record multiple petri dishes at once is not such a good idea.

Something useful I learned with this timelapse is how difficult it can be to manipulate the slime mold. I tried using different arrangements and amounts of oat in each dish but at the end every dish turned out different than expected.
