Chilodonella ciliate protozoa, LM
Chilodonella protozoa. Light micrograph of several Chilodonella sp. ciliate protozoa. Chilodonella is a single-celled animal that is found in freshwater. Like all ciliates, it is covered in cilia, short hair-like appendages. These are beaten rhythmically to propel the protozoan through the water, and also to waft food particles into its mouth".

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Chilodonella ciliate protozoa, a single-celled animal found in freshwater environments. The light micrograph captures several Chilodonella sp. ciliates, each adorned with numerous cilia - short hair-like appendages that cover their bodies. These delicate structures are rhythmically beaten to propel the protozoan through the water and aid in capturing food particles. The image offers a glimpse into the fascinating realm of these microscopic organisms, highlighting their unique biology and behavior. Magnified at x320 when printed 10cm high, every detail is brought to life, allowing us to appreciate the complexity of these tiny creatures. Chilodonella belongs to a diverse group called ciliates, which encompasses various species with similar characteristics. As invertebrates, they play an essential role within aquatic ecosystems and contribute to the overall biodiversity of our planet's fauna. This mesmerizing photograph not only serves as a testament to nature's incredible diversity but also reminds us of how even the tiniest organisms can have significant impacts on their environment. Through scientific exploration and observation using powerful tools like light microscopy, we gain valuable insights into the hidden intricacies of our natural world and deepen our understanding of its countless wonders.
