Foraminifera, light micrograph C016 / 8597

Foraminifera. Interphase contrast light micrograph of a selection of different foraminifera. Foraminifera are marine single-celled protozoa that construct and inhabit shells composed of several chambers. These are usually penetrated by pores through which the cellular content is extruded. The shells form an important component of chalk. In past geological ages, foraminifera were so numerous that their shells, largely composed of calcium carbonate, have formed immense fossil deposits, seen today as limestone. Magnification: x28 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Foraminifera, a group of marine single-celled protozoa. The image, captured under interphase contrast light microscopy, reveals a selection of different foraminifera species. These remarkable organisms construct and inhabit shells composed of multiple chambers, which are often permeated by pores through which their cellular content is extruded. Foraminifera play a crucial role in the formation of chalk, as their calcium carbonate shells accumulate over time to create immense fossil deposits seen today as limestone. In past geological ages, these tiny creatures were so abundant that their fossilized remains formed vast formations. The magnified view provided by this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details and delicate structures within each foraminiferan shell. It offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of microscopic marine life and highlights the beauty found within even the tiniest organisms. With its emphasis on nature's diversity and complexity, this image serves as a reminder of how interconnected all forms of life are in our oceans. It invites contemplation about the wonders hidden beneath the surface and sparks curiosity about the countless microorganisms that shape our planet's ecosystems. Captured by Frank Fox from Science Photo Library, this stunning print is not only visually striking but also provides valuable insight into biological processes and natural history without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any specific company.
