EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Jellyfish (Hydroid polyp) enlarged under a microscope" takes us back to the year 1914 when scientific exploration was at its peak. The image showcases the intricate beauty of a Hydroid polyp, commonly known as a jellyfish, magnified through the lens of a powerful microscope. The photograph offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of microbiology slides and research subjects that were crucial in advancing our understanding of general biology during that era. It serves as a testament to the dedication and curiosity of scientists like Giorgio Roster, who meticulously studied mathematical and natural sciences. In this mesmerizing snapshot, we witness the delicate structure of this marine creature belonging to the coelenterata phylum. Its translucent body reveals an array of tentacles gracefully floating in water, creating an ethereal spectacle. These invertebrates have long fascinated researchers due to their unique life cycle involving both medusa (adult) and polyp stages. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph holds immense scientific significance by shedding light on these enigmatic animals' physiology and behavior. Through such meticulous observations made possible by advanced microscopy techniques available at that time, scientists could unravel mysteries surrounding these fascinating creatures. As we admire this timeless piece captured by Giorgio Roster from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate not only his artistic eye but also his contribution to expanding our knowledge about marine life forms. This remarkable image reminds us how interconnected all living beings are within our vast ecosystem – even those hidden beneath oceans' depths.
