C. elegans mutant worm, light micrograph
C. elegans worm. Differential interference contrast micrograph of a rolling mutant Caenorhabditis elegans worm. Rolling mutants move in a circular, rather then the normal sinusoidal, path. The lawn of Escherichia coli bacteria that the worm feeds on in the laboratory can be seen in the background. C. elegans is a soil-dwelling hermaphrodite nematode worm and one of the most studied animals in biological and genetic research. A tendency to reproduce by self-fertilisation (resulting in identical offspring), along with the short time taken to reach maturity, make this tiny worm an ideal subject

Discover the intricacies of life with our Media Storehouse Photographic Prints featuring the captivating image of a Caenorhabditis elegans rolling mutant worm. This differential interference contrast micrograph, sourced from the Science Photo Library, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of these microscopic organisms. The worm, which normally moves in a sinusoidal path, is shown in this image to be exhibiting a circular motion, a fascinating example of genetic mutation at work. Add this stunning print to your collection and bring the wonders of science into your home or office.
Photo prints are produced on Kodak professional photo paper resulting in timeless and breath-taking prints which are also ideal for framing. The colors produced are rich and vivid, with accurate blacks and pristine whites, resulting in prints that are truly timeless and magnificent. Whether you're looking to display your prints in your home, office, or gallery, our range of photographic prints are sure to impress. Dimensions refers to the size of the paper in inches.
Our Photo Prints are in a large range of sizes and are printed on Archival Quality Paper for excellent colour reproduction and longevity. They are ideal for framing (our Framed Prints use these) at a reasonable cost. Alternatives include cheaper Poster Prints and higher quality Fine Art Paper, the choice of which is largely dependant on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a C. elegans mutant worm, captured under the lens of a light microscope. The differential interference contrast micrograph reveals the unique characteristics of this rolling mutant specimen. Unlike its counterparts, this particular worm moves in a circular path instead of the usual sinusoidal motion. Intriguingly, the background unveils a lawn of Escherichia coli bacteria, which serves as nourishment for these laboratory-dwelling creatures. C. elegans is an extraordinary hermaphrodite nematode worm that resides in soil environments and has become one of the most extensively studied animals in biological and genetic research. The remarkable ability of self-fertilization leading to identical offspring, coupled with its rapid maturation process, makes this tiny organism an ideal subject for scientific investigations. Its red backdrop enhances the visual appeal while emphasizing its classification within animal fauna and zoology. Within this single image lies a wealth of information encompassing various fields such as biology, genetics, genetic engineering, and transgenic organisms. This photograph not only captures the essence of C. elegans but also represents countless hours dedicated to unraveling nature's mysteries through meticulous observation using cutting-edge technology like light microscopy.
