Radiolarian, light micrograph
Radiolarian, differential interference contrast micrograph. Radiolaria are single-celled protozoans that are found in marine plankton. They have a silicate skeleton with pores through which pseudopodia (false feet) of protoplasm project. As the animal floats in ocean currents the pseudopodia trap food particles on which the radiolarian feeds. Magnification: x280 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a Radiolarian, a single-celled protozoan found in marine plankton. The image, captured using differential interference contrast microscopy, reveals the delicate silicate skeleton of the Radiolarian with its numerous pores through which pseudopodia extend like false feet. Radiolarians are fascinating creatures that navigate ocean currents while their pseudopodia act as nets, ensnaring tiny food particles on which they rely for sustenance. This mesmerizing micrograph offers a glimpse into the world of these elusive organisms and highlights their vital role within marine ecosystems. The blue background serves as an enchanting backdrop to this microscopic marvel, emphasizing its ethereal nature. With a magnification of x280 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail is brought to life in stunning clarity. This photograph not only captures the essence of nature's incredible diversity but also invites us to appreciate the wonders hidden within our oceans. It reminds us that even in seemingly insignificant organisms lie extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered by those who delve into the realm of zoology and biology. Science Photo Library continues to amaze with their ability to capture such breathtaking images that inspire awe and curiosity about our natural world.
