EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of golden algae, specifically a colony of Dinobryon sp. These chrysophytes, also known as golden algae, are captured in stunning detail under polarized light microscopy. With a magnification of x200 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every intricate feature and delicate structure is brought to life. The image portrays a vibrant botanical specimen from the aquatic realm, highlighting the diverse wonders found within nature's fauna. The colonial nature of these microorganisms is evident as they form a collective unit, creating an awe-inspiring sight that captivates both biologists and enthusiasts alike. Each individual cell within this colony possesses flagella - whip-like appendages that enable movement through their watery habitat. This unique characteristic allows them to navigate their surroundings with grace and precision. Golden algae are single-celled organisms capable of photosynthesis, utilizing sunlight to produce energy for growth and survival. As phytoplanktonic members of the plankton community, they play crucial roles in marine ecosystems by serving as primary producers and forming the base of food chains. Marek Mi├à┬ø's skillful capture not only reveals the intricacies of these remarkable microorganisms but also highlights their importance in understanding microbial ecology and biology. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly invisible realms lie extraordinary marvels waiting to be explored by scientists dedicated to unraveling the secrets held by our natural world.
