Diatom detail, SEM
Diatom. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of detail of the silica wall of a diatom. Diatoms may be extremely abundant in both freshwater and marine ecosystems; it is estimated that 20% to 25% of all organic carbon fixation on the planet is carried out by diatoms. This is possible because they contain chlorophyll. Diatoms are a major food resource for marine and freshwater microorganisms and animal larvae, and are a major source of atmospheric oxygen. A unique feature of diatom cells is that they are enclosed within a cell wall made of silica (hydrated silicon dioxide) called a frustule. Magnification: x10000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a diatom, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a stunning close-up of the diatom's silica wall, highlighting its delicate and ornate structure. Diatoms are incredibly abundant in both freshwater and marine ecosystems, playing a vital role in our planet's carbon fixation process. It is estimated that these microscopic organisms contribute to 20% to 25% of all organic carbon fixation on Earth due to their possession of chlorophyll. This enables them to convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Not only do diatoms serve as an essential food resource for various microorganisms and animal larvae in aquatic environments, but they also play a crucial part in maintaining atmospheric oxygen levels. Their ability to produce oxygen makes them significant contributors to the air we breathe. One remarkable characteristic unique to diatoms is their cell wall made entirely of hydrated silicon dioxide, commonly known as silica or frustule. This protective enclosure provides strength and stability while showcasing mesmerizing patterns and shapes. Printed at 10 centimeters wide with a magnification level of x10000, this artwork by Steve Gschmeissner offers us an extraordinary glimpse into the hidden world of these microscopic wonders. Its exquisite details invite viewers to appreciate the complexity and elegance found within nature's tiniest creations.
