Gastrotrich, SEM C019 / 0231
Gastrotrich. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Chaetonotus sp. gastrotrich. Gastrotrichs are microscopic, worm-like animals found in both freshwater and marine habitats. Chartonotus is the largest of the freshwater gastrotrichs. The body is covered by a scale-like cuticle (blue). The cilia (green) on its underside are used for locomotion. Magnification: x1300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Gastrotrich, specifically a Chaetonotus sp. , captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). These microscopic, worm-like animals can be found in both freshwater and marine habitats. Amongst the various species of gastrotrichs, Chartonotus stands out as the largest in freshwater environments. The body of this Chaetonotus sp. is adorned with a scale-like cuticle that appears strikingly blue against the brown background. Its underside reveals an array of vibrant green cilia, which play a crucial role in its locomotion. The image's magnification level allows for an impressive view at x1300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide. Through this photograph, we gain insight into the mesmerizing world of microbiology and appreciate the complexity hidden within even the tiniest organisms. It serves as a reminder that life exists on scales beyond our perception and encourages us to explore further into these unseen realms. Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this moment, showcasing his expertise in scientific photography. This print not only provides valuable information about gastrotrichs but also presents itself as an artistic piece that sparks curiosity and wonder about our natural world.
