EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Spirogyra algae, a filamentous green algae known for its unique spiral arrangement of chloroplasts. Under polarised light, the vibrant green chloroplasts stand out against a striking blue background, creating a visually stunning image that highlights the wonders of nature. Each cylindrical cell of this algal species connects end to end, forming long and delicate green filaments. With a magnification of x200 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this micrograph allows us to appreciate the minute details and complexity present within these aquatic organisms. Spirogyra algae play an essential role in our ecosystem as photosynthetic organisms. Their chloroplasts enable them to harness sunlight and convert it into energy through photosynthesis. As members of the Chlorophyte family, they contribute to oxygen production while serving as food sources for various aquatic creatures. Through this print by Marek Mis from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the vast diversity found in botanical life forms. It serves as a reminder that even microscopic organisms like Spirogyra have their own unique beauty worth exploring and appreciating.
