LM of Waved Whelk tooth and radula
Light micrograph in interference contrast illumination of a tooth plate on the radula of the Waved Whelk (Buccinum undatum). The radula is a strip-like organ studded with rows of horny tooth plates. B.undatum has a rachoglossate radula, in that each row contains only three tooth plates. In this image, the centre tooth plate in a row is seen with seven tooth-like projections from the edge of the plate. The radula is used to rasp food, in this case the corpses of marine animals, into particles that are small enough to digest. Magnification x200 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a Waved Whelk tooth and radula. The image, captured under interference contrast illumination, reveals a tooth plate on the radula of the fascinating Buccinum undatum species. The radula is a remarkable strip-like organ adorned with rows of horny tooth plates. What sets B. undatum apart is its rachoglossate radula, where each row consists of only three tooth plates. In this particular snapshot, we witness the center tooth plate in a row exhibiting seven tooth-like projections along its edge. Functionally, the radula serves as an essential tool for these marine creatures to rasp their food into digestible particles. In this case, it aids in breaking down the corpses of other marine animals that serve as their sustenance. At a magnification level of x200 and presented at 35mm size, this light micrograph offers us an up-close encounter with nature's ingenuity. It unveils not just the anatomy but also highlights the complexity and precision behind every aspect of life – even within seemingly small organisms like whelks. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into our natural world through this extraordinary photograph capturing both scientific intrigue and artistic beauty simultaneously.
