  This is insane. If repaired, this would be an incredible museum.

  This looks like genuinely one of the best urbex videos I have ever seen. Building looks like it was abandon in the 70s but no vandalism just natural decay and not that much considering. No bull shit tagging and amazing items left behind. Unreal somewhere like this has not been trashed by scumbag scrappers vandals or taggers. Truly amazing.

  I commend you for not disclosing the location of this lab. It deserves to stay in such fantastic condition

  I think this is one of the most ‘Resident Evil’ feeling buildings you guys have explored

  I am an amateur microscopist and scientist here - fantastic video! The first lab shown in the video was previously staged by someone - liquid in vials capped with corks would evaporate quite quickly. The light transmission microscopes throughout the video look awesome and could easily be brought back in working condition with some cleaning. Standard and non Leica or Zeiss branded microscopes - even old ones - go for affordable prices - likely the reason why they are still around there. I believe the bigger grey one best seen at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCGtX6JC9g&amp;t=1202">20:02</a> is actually an old Zeiss microscope due to its unique shape. Cool that the original wooden cases for the microscopes shown at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCGtX6JC9g&amp;t=1087">18:07</a> on the wall are also still intact. Love that the original microscope lenses (objectives) are still in their original metal containers at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCGtX6JC9g&amp;t=1327">22:07</a>! The bug in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCGtX6JC9g&amp;t=1362">22:42</a> is a mosquito head. The shelve in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCGtX6JC9g&amp;t=755">12:35</a> also looks staged previously - the material in the Petri dishes is used as drying agent in desiccators - not in Petri dishes as shown. The old microscope slides in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCGtX6JC9g&amp;t=835">13:55</a> look very cool and intact (only the resin deteriorated throughout the decades in summer heat making it brownish looking). The two empty cabinets at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCGtX6JC9g&amp;t=1035">17:15</a> might have been used to store sensitive milligram balances - they are valuable and likely for this reason no longer there.

  How on earth has this place managed to be such a perfect time capsule?! No graffiti, no vandalism, no damage, and not a thing changed since the day that the place was abandoned... 🤯

  The slide label &quot;Tania solium&quot; is a Tape worm, I worked &nbsp;in a microbiology lab for over 40 years and recognised many of the items in here that i used in my career. The white stuf in the petri dish is an desicant.

  Here&apos;s what the list inside the metal stove like thing at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCGtX6JC9g&amp;t=1238">20:38</a> means.<br>1 - Larvae <br>2 - Mosquitos <br>3 - Lice <br>4 - Fleas <br>5 - Spirochaetes (a kind of bacteria) <br>6 - Trypanosoma (a parasite) <br>7 - Diphtheria (a seriously toxic bateria) <br>8 and 16 - Gonococos (the bacteria that causes gonorrhoeae) <br>9 - Meningococcus (bactria that can cause meningitis)<br>...<br>14 - PLAGUE<br>... and so on.<br><br>Probably some sort of incubator to grow samples on petri dishes.<br>Also some serious shit. I don&apos;t know how long these things could survive on an environment like that but, I wouldn&apos;t go into an abandoned lab touching everything without disposable gloves.<br><br>AMAZING episode regardless.<br>The photography looks awesome as always.

  That microscope you were peering through is exactly the same as we used in our biology labs back in 1963. And they were old then! The typewriters date back to the 1930s. This place is a snapshot in time, so glad to see it succumbing only to natural rot and decay and not defaced by vandals. Great video.

  all of the items left behind are so beautifully made. i wish our modern world wasn’t made entirely of plastic

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCGtX6JC9g&amp;t=1462">24:22</a> did anyone else hear that sound ? My friend and I both heard it we stopped the video and rewound it multiple times and we hear what sounds like someone in distress. We were also both surprised neither of you heard it because you guys are usually on point when hearing foreign sounds ! ? !

  That place has to be Diamond standard for abandoned places.
