EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Diatom alga, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a Biddulphia sp. diatom, an enchanting marine planktonic unicellular alga that thrives in our oceans. What makes this diatom truly remarkable is its mineralized cell wall, known as a frustule, which is divided into two halves. Composed primarily of silica, this frustule not only offers protection to the delicate organism but also provides essential support for its survival. The vibrant colours portrayed in this photograph are false-coloured enhancements added during the imaging process to highlight specific features and characteristics of the diatom. Through advanced technology and scientific expertise, we can now appreciate the mesmerizing details that would otherwise remain hidden from our naked eyes. As we delve into nature's botanical wonders, it becomes evident how diverse and awe-inspiring life on Earth truly is. This single-celled marvel serves as a reminder of the extraordinary complexity found within even seemingly simple organisms. With each glance at this photo print, one cannot help but be captivated by the elegance and intricacy displayed by this marine phytoplankton. It stands as a testament to both the power of biology and mankind's ability to unlock nature's secrets through cutting-edge tools like scanning electron microscopes.
