Diatom Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM): Magnification x5275 (if print A4 size: 29.7 cm wide) - The diatoms are single celled algae. They produce a silicaceous structured case for protection and use chlorophyl or other photosynthetic pigment to power their metabolism. They are provide food for filter feeders in freshwater and marine environments Date

Tiny Algae, Big Impact - The Secret Lives of Diatoms Unveiled!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mesmerizing photo print, we delve into the microscopic world of diatoms - single-celled algae that hold a fascinating secret. Magnified an astonishing 5275 times, these minuscule organisms reveal their intricate silicaceous cases, designed to shield them from harm. Diatoms are not your ordinary algae; they possess chlorophyll or other photosynthetic pigments that power their metabolism and allow them to thrive in both freshwater and marine environments. But their significance doesn't end there! These little wonders serve as a vital food source for filter feeders across various ecosystems. Captured through the lens of an electron microscope, this close-up snapshot showcases the extraordinary shapes and structures of diatoms. Their unicellular bodies take on forms so unusual that they seem like works of art rather than mere organisms. So next time you're enjoying a peaceful stroll by a lake or gazing out at the vast ocean expanse, remember these unsung heroes silently working beneath the surface. Let this image remind us all that even in the tiniest corners of nature's canvas lie hidden marvels waiting to be discovered.
