Spirostomum ciliate protozoan, SEM C019 / 0307
Spirostomum sp. ciliate protozoan, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These tiny single-celled organisms are found in freshwater and marine habitats. It feeds on bacteria and decaying organic matter, which it filters through membranelles in its primitive mouth, known as a buccal cavity. The membranelles, rows of fused cilia (short microscopic hairs), are also used for locomotion. Magnification: x300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide. 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 Spirostomum ciliate protozoan, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). These minuscule single-celled organisms can be found thriving in both freshwater and marine environments. With their vibrant colors, they add a touch of wonder to the microscopic world. Feeding on bacteria and decaying organic matter, this remarkable creature employs membranelles located in its primitive mouth, known as a buccal cavity, to filter its food. The membranelles consist of rows of fused cilia that not only aid in feeding but also serve as means for locomotion. Through these short microscopic hairs, it propels itself gracefully within its habitat. At 300 times magnification when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image allows us to appreciate the complexity hidden within such a tiny organism. Its presence reminds us of the vast diversity that exists even at the smallest scale of life. The photograph by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library captures not just an intriguing scientific subject but also highlights nature's artistic prowess. It serves as a reminder that there is much more to explore and admire beyond what meets the naked eye.
