EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of nematodes, specifically the Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita species. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a mesmerizing glimpse into the microscopic realm of these lethal parasites. Belonging to the Rhabditidae family, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita has evolved as a natural predator of slugs. The image reveals the delicate features and unique structure of these tiny organisms. With a magnification of x 80 when printed at 10cm wide, every minute detail is brought to life in stunning clarity. The vibrant colours used in this SEM enhance our understanding and appreciation for their biological control capabilities. Interestingly, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is commercially reared alongside Moraxella osloensis bacteria for its molluscicidal properties. This means that it is cultivated on a large scale and sold as an effective solution for controlling slug populations in various environments. Photographed by Steve Gschmeissner, renowned for his expertise in capturing scientific wonders through his lens, this print from Fine Art Storehouse offers both aesthetic beauty and educational value. It serves as a reminder that even within the tiniest corners of our ecosystem lies an extraordinary world waiting to be explored and understood.
