Blepharisma ciliate protozoan, SEM
Blepharisma ciliate protozoan. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a ciliate protozoan (Blepharisma sp.). This tiny single- celled organism is found in freshwater. It feeds on bacteria and decaying organic matter, which it filters through membranelles in its primitive mouth, known as a buccal cavity (bottom). The membranelles, rows of fused cilia (short microscopic hairs), are also used for locomotion. When feeding conditions are good this protozoan can grow to an enormous size and the giant Bleparisma is sometimes seen to feed on its normal sized relatives. Magnification: x290 when printed at 10 centimetres across. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Blepharisma ciliate protozoan, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors highlight the mesmerizing details of this tiny single-celled organism, which is commonly found in freshwater environments. The Blepharisma ciliate feeds on bacteria and decaying organic matter by filtering it through membranelles located in its primitive mouth, known as a buccal cavity. These membranelles are composed of rows of fused cilia, microscopic hairs that not only aid in feeding but also enable locomotion for this remarkable creature. Under favorable conditions, this protozoan can grow to an astonishing size. In fact, the giant Blepharisma has been observed devouring its smaller counterparts when food resources are abundant. This fascinating behavior adds another layer to our understanding of these unique organisms. With a magnification level of x290 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this image allows us to appreciate the intricate structures and vibrant colors present within the world of microorganisms. It serves as a reminder that even within the tiniest realms of life, there exists incredible diversity and complexity waiting to be explored. This photograph from Science Photo Library provides valuable insights into nature's wonders and offers an opportunity for further study in fields such as zoology, biology, microbiology, and more.
