Metal Print : Paramecium protozoan, light micrograph
Metal Prints From Science Photo Library
Paramecium protozoan, light micrograph
Paramecium protozoan. Differential interference contrast micrograph of a Paramecium sp. protozoan. This ciliate protozoan inhabits freshwater, where it feeds mainly on bacteria. It moves by beating its cilia, hair-like extensions that cover its body. The small circular bodies inside the protozoan are individual Zoochlorella sp. algae, which have a symbiotic relationship with the protozoan. They photosynthesise inside the Paramecium, providing it with sugars and oxygen, while deriving protection from their host. Magnification: x120 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of a Paramecium protozoan, as seen through a light microscope. The differential interference contrast micrograph reveals the mesmerizing details of this ciliate protozoan, which thrives in freshwater environments and primarily sustains itself by consuming bacteria. The Paramecium's movement is facilitated by its numerous cilia, hair-like extensions that adorn its body. These beating cilia allow it to gracefully navigate its surroundings. However, what truly fascinates scientists are the small circular bodies nestled within the protozoan - individual Zoochlorella sp. algae. In an extraordinary symbiotic relationship, these algae photosynthesize inside the Paramecium, providing it with vital sugars and oxygen while finding protection within their host organism. This partnership exemplifies nature's remarkable ability to foster mutually beneficial connections between different species. Printed at 10 centimeters wide with a magnification of x120, this image allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity found within even single-celled organisms like Paramecia. It serves as a reminder that life exists in countless forms across our planet – from majestic animals to microscopic wonders – each playing a crucial role in maintaining our delicate ecosystem. This stunning photograph captures not only the scientific significance but also highlights the inherent artistry present in nature's creations.
