Very impressive collection of short animated videos from the photomicrograph collections of Florida State University, being ‘time-lapse digital image sequences that explore the effect of rotating polarization, sample rotation, and crystallization as it actually appears under the microscope.' The videos can be streamed using Real Player to suit low or high bandwidths (from 14.4K up to T1 or DSL connections), with a selection of uncompressed digital videos available as AVI downloads. The videos are available in four ‘galleries’: Chemical Crystals, Pond Life, the QX3 Microscope Time-Lapse Movie Gallery , and the Nikon MicroscopyU Digital Movie Gallery , and each comes with supporting descriptions.
Scientific American Frontiers is an American television series hosted by Alan Alda and broadcast on PBS. Its site gives the current TV schedule, teaching materials, and a very impressive video archive of past programmes, searchable by topic or keyword. This offers either complete programmes or segments using Real or Windows Media Player, for low or high-band connections, with most having an accompanying transcript where users can click on a particular point in the transcript to access that point in the video. Topics covered include archaeology, astronomy, biology/nature, chemistry/physics, computers/technology, earth science, engineering/mathematics, medicine/health, and psychology/cognitive science. Some have links to PBS web features, teaching guides etc.
An extensive collection of video and audio clips taken from interviews with scientists and scholars, including several Nobel Prize winners (Milton Friedman, Ilya Prigogine, Norman Borlaug, John F. Nash, Linus Pauling and others), available as streamed audio or video (a number are listed as being available shortly), with complete videos or transcripts available for purchase. The site is clearly arranged and described, and is categorised under Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Culture, Economics, Environment, Health/Medicine, Literature, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.
The Caltech Archives’ (California Institute of Technology) holdings include an extensive library of audio and video recordings of lectures and other scientific presentations. It holds the original tapes of the 1961–1962 Feynman lectures on physics. Also held is a series of about 60 interviews with physicists worldwide conducted by Caltech’s Kip Thorne while researching his book, Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy (1994). Most audio and video holdings are preserved in their original format and the Archive is incrementally migrating older analog media to digital formats for preservation and to make them accessible online. Audio and video material may be identified through a search of our catalogue by a name or keyword.
