Melosira filamentous diatom alage, LM
Melosira sp. diatoms. Light micrograph of filamentous strands of the freshwater diatom alga Melosira sp.. Diatoms are single-celled algae that form cell walls made of silica. They form a major part of both freshwater and marine phytoplankton. Although most diatoms exist as independent cells, some form chains such as this. Magnification: x241 when printed 10cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Melosira filamentous diatom algae. Under the light microscope, we are presented with a mesmerizing view of delicate strands forming chains of this freshwater diatom alga. Diatoms, being single-celled organisms, construct their cell walls using silica, resulting in stunning geometric patterns and structures. Diatoms play a crucial role in both freshwater and marine ecosystems as they form a significant portion of phytoplankton communities. While most diatoms exist independently, some species like Melosira sp. come together to create these fascinating filaments that stretch out before us. With a magnification level of x241 when printed at 10cm high, this image allows us to appreciate the minute details and complexities within this microcosmic world. The vibrant shades and textures captured here evoke an appreciation for the wonders found within nature's botanical realm. As we delve into the realms of biology and microbiology through this photograph, it serves as a reminder that even on such small scales, life thrives abundantly. This print from Science Photo Library invites us to explore the hidden beauty present in our natural surroundings while highlighting the significance of these microscopic organisms in sustaining our planet's ecosystems.
