In April 2022, a video went viral that supposedly showed shocking photos of a hot dog under a microscope. One popular posting of this video on Facebook received more than 15 million views. The following clip from TikTok user @mir_glazami_microscopa has been viewed nearly 150 million times: The video does not provide a genuine glimpse of a hot dog under a microscope. When we reached out to Roman Kamburov, the person behind this viral TikTok account, he told us that the video was fake. Kamburov created the Мир глазами микроскопом or The World Through the Eyes of a Microscope project to gives viewers a glimpse of the world that is beyond the reach of the naked eye. Kamburov describes the project on his YouTube page (translated from Ukrainian to English via Google Translate): While the viral hot dog under a microscope video is fake, Kamburov told us that the majority of his videos reflect genuine observations. Kamburov said: While we can't tell you exactly which videos are real and which ones are fake, we did ask about one additional video that recently racked up more than 20 million views. In this video, Kamburov takes a look at an apple under a microscope and finds... well, take a look. Kamburov told us that this video is real and that the spider-like creature is a mite. While this video may draw some disgusted reactions, Kamburov said that these mites aren't generally dangerous to humans and that people can still eat apples (especially if they wash them).
