EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Korotnevella amoeba, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the delicate scales that cover this naked amoeba, belonging to the genus Korotnevella. With finger-like pseudopodia known as dactylopodia, these freshwater single-celled organisms exhibit their remarkable feeding and locomotive abilities. Feeding primarily on bacteria and smaller protozoa, these amoebas employ their pseudopodia to engulf their prey while also aiding in movement. While most amoebas appear naked under light microscopes due to their flexible cell shape, SEM uncovers the hidden secret of many being adorned with an exquisite coat of scales. The magnification level used for this print is an astounding 4000 times larger than life itself. When printed at a width of 10 centimeters, it allows us to appreciate every minute detail present in this mesmerizing organism. This color-manipulated photograph not only captures scientific wonder but also presents it as a work of art. With its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, this image serves as a testament to the astonishing diversity found within our natural world. It invites viewers into the microscopic realm where even seemingly simple organisms like amoebas can hold breathtaking surprises waiting to be discovered.
