Fine Art Print : LM of the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
LM of the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans
Light micrograph of Caenorhabditis elegans, a soil-dwelling bisexual nematode worm which feeds on bacteria. A tendency to reproduce by self- fertilization (resulting in identical offspring), along with the short time taken to reach maturity, make this tiny worm an ideal subject for genetic research. Scientists have already drawn up a wiring diagram of its nervous system, studied the development of each of its 959 component cells and produced a map of its genes. Attempts are now being made to decode the genetic blueprint of C. elegans, to identify every one of the 100 million letters, or bases, in its genome. Nomarski illumination. Magnification: x128 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Caenorhabditis elegans, commonly known as a nematode worm. With its slender body and translucent appearance, this soil-dwelling bisexual creature feeds on bacteria and serves as an invaluable subject for genetic research. Its unique ability to reproduce through self-fertilization, resulting in identical offspring, combined with its remarkably short time to reach maturity, has made it an ideal candidate for scientific study. Scientists have delved deep into the world of C. elegans, mapping out its nervous system's wiring diagram and meticulously studying the development of each of its 959 component cells. They have even managed to produce a comprehensive map of its genes. Now their focus lies on decoding the complete genetic blueprint of this tiny worm - identifying every single one of the impressive 100 million letters or bases within its genome. The photograph itself is a stunning light micrograph captured using Nomarski illumination techniques. Through magnification at x128 on a 35mm size scale, we are able to witness the mesmerizing intricacies that lie within this seemingly simple organism. With nature as our guide and science as our tool, we continue to unravel the mysteries hidden within these remarkable creatures like C. elegans – expanding our knowledge not only about them but also about ourselves in this vast tapestry called life.
