Dinoflagellate protozoan, SEM C013 / 5111
Dinoflagellate protozoan, scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Dinoflagellates are unicellular protozoans. About 90 percent are found in marine environments as plankton. They range in size from 2 millimetres to less than a hundredth of a milimetre across. Magnification: x2750 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Dinoflagellate protozoan, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). These unicellular organisms are commonly found in marine environments as plankton, with approximately 90 percent residing in the vast oceans. Ranging in size from 2 millimeters to less than a hundredth of a millimeter across, their diminutive stature belies their significance within aquatic ecosystems. The image's monochromatic palette adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this microscopic world. The armoured structure of the Dinoflagellate is clearly visible, highlighting its resilience and adaptability. This particular specimen belongs to the Protoperidinium genus, characterized by its distinctive theca or outer covering. As part of the diverse realm of protists within eukarya, these single-celled creatures play crucial roles as planktonic organisms. Their presence has far-reaching implications for marine life and ecosystem dynamics. Scientists have magnified this image by an astonishing x2750 when printed at just 10 centimeters across, allowing us to appreciate even the tiniest details that would otherwise go unnoticed. Photographer Philippe Crassous skillfully captures nature's wonders through his lens in this mesmerizing snapshot from Science Photo Library. It serves as a reminder that beneath our planet's vast oceans lies an intricate tapestry teeming with unseen life forms waiting to be discovered and understood by curious minds engaged in zoological research and exploration into our fascinating natural world.
