EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a rotifer with its eggs, captured under a light microscope. The differential interference contrast (DIC) technique brings out the fine details of this microscopic aquatic animal and its reproductive structure. Rotifers, belonging to the phylum Rotifera, are fascinating creatures that bear resemblance to roundworms. The image reveals a single rotifer gracefully carrying small, round eggs within its delicate body. With a magnification of x280, when printed 10 centimeters wide, this print allows us to appreciate the complexity and wonder of these tiny organisms. Rotifers play an essential role in aquatic ecosystems as planktonic organisms. Their motile nature enables them to freely swim through water bodies, contributing to their widespread distribution. As invertebrates, they form an integral part of the diverse fauna found in our natural world. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of these microorganisms but also serves as a reminder of their crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. It provides valuable insights into their biology and reproductive behavior while showcasing the wonders hidden within our watery realms. Captured by Frank Fox for Science Photo Library, this stunning image invites us into the mesmerizing world of rotifers and encourages us to explore further into their intriguing lives without commercial use or profit-seeking motives clouding our appreciation for nature's marvels.
