EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a green hydra, captured through a light micrograph. Set against a striking black background, this aquatic invertebrate appears like an otherworldly creature with its long tentacled head on full display. Belonging to the phylum Cnidaria, hydra are small predatory freshwater animals known for their simplicity and intriguing biology. At a magnification of x138 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this image allows us to appreciate the intricate details of the hydra's anatomy. The single-headed organism reveals its chloroplasts, responsible for photosynthesis and giving it its vibrant green hue. This unique feature sets it apart from other members of the hydrozoa family. The delicate tentacles extending from its head add an element of grace and curiosity to this microscopic world. Hydra viridis is not only visually stunning but also holds great significance in microbiology studies as one of nature's fascinating microorganisms. Frank Fox skillfully captures this moment using a light microscope, showcasing his expertise in microbiological photography. This print serves as a reminder that even within our own planet's waters lie hidden wonders waiting to be explored by curious minds fascinated by nature's diversity and complexity.
