C elegans, SEM
Caenorhabditis elegans worm, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). C. elegans is a soil-dwelling hermaphrodite nematode worm and one of the most studied animals in biological and genetic research. A tendency to reproduce by self-fertilisation (resulting in identical offspring), along with the short time taken to reach maturity, make this tiny worm an ideal subject. Magnification: x1300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a C elegans, or Caenorhabditis elegans worm, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This particular nematode worm is not only fascinating but also holds immense significance in biological and genetic research. As a soil-dwelling hermaphrodite, the C elegans possesses unique characteristics that have made it one of the most extensively studied animals in scientific exploration. Its ability to reproduce through self-fertilisation, resulting in identical offspring, combined with its remarkably short time taken to reach maturity, has rendered this minuscule creature an ideal subject for researchers. The magnified image reveals mesmerizing details of this tiny worm's anatomy and structure. The vibrant colors bring forth an otherworldly allure that captivates viewers' attention. Every curve and contour tells a story of evolution and adaptation within this remarkable species. Photographer Steve Gschmeissner skillfully captures the essence of this bizarre yet intriguing organism, showcasing its importance as a model organism for understanding fundamental biological processes. With each viewing at 10 centimeters wide, we are reminded of the vastness hidden within even the tiniest creatures on our planet. This stunning artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight and a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel nature's mysteries through meticulous scientific exploration.
