Young gibbous starlet starfish
Young gibbous starlet (Asterina gibbosa) starfish, light micrograph. The dorsal (top) view (right) shows a blurred central dark mass that is the digestive sacs (pyloric caecae). The ventral (underside) view (left) has a clear central hole (the mouth) surrounded by a central pentagonal groove and tube feet over the whole surface. The tube feet are extended or retracted by a hydraulic system and are used for movement or adhesion to surfaces. For separate ventral and dorsal views, see images Z550/177 and Z150/178. Magnification: x36 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a young gibbous starlet starfish (Asterina gibbosa) under the lens of a light microscope. The image provides both dorsal and ventral views, revealing fascinating features of this marine creature's anatomy. In the dorsal view on the right, we observe a blurred central dark mass, which represents the digestive sacs known as pyloric caecae. These sacs play a crucial role in processing food for nourishment. On the left side, the ventral view displays a clear central hole that serves as its mouth. Surrounding it is a distinct pentagonal groove with tube feet extending across its entire surface. The hydraulic system within these tube feet allows them to be extended or retracted, enabling movement or adhesion to various surfaces. This adaptation aids in their survival and navigation through their aquatic habitat. With an impressive magnification of x36 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this stunning photograph offers an up-close exploration into the world of this young gibbous starlet starfish. Its vibrant colors and intricate structures highlight nature's remarkable diversity and beauty found beneath our oceans' depths. This image is part of Science Photo Library's extensive collection dedicated to showcasing various aspects of nature, wildlife, zoology, biology, and marine life - providing valuable resources for scientific research and education worldwide.
