Aquatic crustaceans, light micrograph
Aquatic crustaceans. Composite image of light micrographs of aquatic planktonic crustaceans with strands of filamentous algae. The four crustaceans seen are: a water flea (suborder Cladocera, upper left), a seed shrimp (Cyclocypris sp. upper right), a copepod (Cyclops sp. lower right) and the nauplius larva of a copepod crustacean (lower left). Dark field illumination. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of aquatic crustaceans in all its glory. The composite image, created from light micrographs, beautifully captures the delicate balance between these fascinating creatures and strands of filamentous algae. In this mesmerizing snapshot, we are introduced to four distinct crustaceans that inhabit freshwater ecosystems. In the upper left corner, a water flea belonging to the suborder Cladocera gracefully glides through its watery habitat. Its translucent body and graceful movements make it a true marvel of nature. On the upper right side, a seed shrimp (Cyclocypris sp. ) takes center stage with its unique appearance and intricate details. Its exoskeleton glistens under the microscope's lens, revealing an astonishing level of complexity. Moving towards the lower right corner, we encounter a copepod (Cyclops sp. ), another member of this diverse group. With its elongated body and numerous appendages, it navigates through microscopic realms with remarkable agility. Finally, in the lower left corner lies an enchanting nauplius larva - an early developmental stage of a copepod crustacean. This tiny creature embodies both fragility and resilience as it embarks on its journey towards adulthood. Dark field illumination adds depth to this already stunning composition while highlighting each organism's intricate features. Although magnification remains unknown, one cannot help but be captivated by every minute detail captured within this extraordinary photograph print from Science Photo Library.
