Diatoms and radiolaria, SEM
Diatoms and radiolaria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a circular arrangement of various diatoms and radiolaria. Diatoms are planktonic unicellular algae. They have a mineralised cell wall (frustule) divided into two halves. The frustule contains silica and provides protection and support. Radiolarians are amoeboid protozoa that produce intricate mineral skeletons. They are found as zooplankton throughout the ocean, and their skeletal remains cover large portions of the ocean bottom as radiolarian ooze

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of diatoms and radiolaria, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The circular arrangement of these microscopic organisms creates a mesmerizing pattern that is both visually stunning and scientifically fascinating. Diatoms, as planktonic unicellular algae, play a vital role in our ecosystem. Their mineralized cell wall, known as frustule, provides them with protection and support. Composed mainly of silica, this frustule not only safeguards the diatoms but also lends an exquisite structure to their appearance. Radiolarians, on the other hand, are amoeboid protozoa that possess remarkable artistic skills in creating elaborate mineral skeletons. These skeletal remains can be found scattered across vast areas of the ocean floor like radiant patches of radiolarian ooze. Through this photograph's lens into the microcosmic world beneath our feet lies a reminder of nature's boundless creativity. It serves as a testament to the incredible diversity and complexity that exists even within seemingly minuscule life forms. Steve Gschmeissner's expertise behind this image brings forth an amalgamation of artistry and scientific exploration. This print from Fine Art Storehouse invites us to marvel at the hidden wonders surrounding us every day – reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to understanding our planet's delicate balance.
