Diatom. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Stephanopyxis sp. diatom. Diatoms are single-celled photosynthetic algae, of which there are about 100, 000 species. They have mineralised cell walls (frustules) that contain silica and provide protection and support. The diatoms form an important part of the plankton at the base of the marine and freshwater food chains. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Stephanopyxis sp. diatom, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Diatoms are single-celled photosynthetic algae that play a vital role in marine and freshwater ecosystems as part of the planktonic community. The image reveals the diatom's mineralized cell walls, known as frustules, which provide both protection and support. These frustules contain silica and give the diatom its distinctive shape and structure. With approximately 100,000 species, diatoms exhibit an astonishing diversity in their forms and patterns. The vibrant colors added to this SEM image enhance our appreciation for the delicate intricacies within nature's design. It serves as a reminder of how even microscopic organisms can possess remarkable beauty. Diatoms are essential components of food chains in aquatic environments, serving as primary producers at the base of these ecosystems. Their presence influences water quality by contributing to oxygen production through photosynthesis. This photograph not only highlights the aesthetic appeal found within nature but also emphasizes the importance of understanding these tiny organisms' ecological significance. Through scientific exploration and research using advanced microscopy techniques like SEM, we gain valuable insights into our natural world's complexity and interconnectedness.
