Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Oxytricha ciliate protozoan, SEM C019 / 0253
Oxytricha sp. ciliate protozoan, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Oxytricha is a tiny single-celled aquatic organism. It feeds on bacteria and decaying organic matter, which it filters through membranelles in its primitive mouth, known as a buccal cavity (lower left). The membranelles, rows of fused cilia (short microscopic hairs), are also used for locomotion. Magnification: x800 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an Oxytricha ciliate protozoan, a minuscule single-celled aquatic organism. The colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the mesmerizing details of this fascinating creature. Oxytricha sustains itself by feeding on bacteria and decaying organic matter, which it skillfully filters through membranelles located in its primitive mouth or buccal cavity. The buccal cavity, depicted in the lower left corner of the image, is adorned with rows of fused cilia that serve multiple purposes. These short microscopic hairs not only aid in locomotion but also act as filtering mechanisms for capturing food particles. The SEM magnification allows us to appreciate these membranelles and their vital role in Oxytricha's survival. Against a striking black background, this print invites us into the realm of zoology and microbiology. It offers a glimpse into the hidden world of single-celled organisms thriving beneath our notice. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detail, this image captures both the scientific significance and aesthetic appeal found within nature's smallest creations. Photographed by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, this stunning portrayal serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary environments like water bodies teeming with life, extraordinary wonders await discovery.
