EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Climacostomum protozoan, a unicellular ciliate protozoan. The image, taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals the organism's large oral apparatus in stunning detail. The round structure located in the upper right corner is the oral apparatus, which consists of an adoral zone of membranelles encircling a wide buccal cavity or mouth. This unique feature opens into the cytopharyngeal pouch. The vibrant colors used to enhance this SEM capture bring out the fascinating characteristics of this microscopic creature against a black background. Its spherical shape and green hue add to its allure, making it appear like an otherworldly sphere floating in space. As we delve deeper into zoology and biology, we discover extraordinary organisms such as this Climacostomum protozoan that exist within our aquatic ecosystems. These single-celled creatures play crucial roles in maintaining ecological balance and serve as indicators for environmental health. Photographer Steve Gschmeissner has masterfully captured this microorganism's complexity and beauty through his lens. This print serves as both an artistic marvel and scientific documentation, allowing us to appreciate the wonders hidden within our natural world at a microscopic level.
