Engineered bacteria, conceptual artwork
Engineered bacteria, conceptual computer artwork. Cutaway of a bacterium showing its underlying mechanics. This could represent the ability scientists have to alter

Engineered bacteria, conceptual image. Bacteria (green) made out of Lego, representing the ability scientists have to alter and rearrange a bacteriums genetic material

Euglena flagellate protozoan, SEM
Euglena flagellate protozoan. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Euglena sp. flagellate protozoan present in a urine sample taken from someone with a urinary tract infection (UTI)

Spread of genetically modified genes, conceptual image. Computer artwork representing the possibility of genes from genetically modified animals spreading into the natural wild population

18th century science illustrations. A page taken from the Gentlemans Magazine published in 1754. The main object (figure 1 and 2)

Systems biology, flow chart
Systems biology. Flow chart showing various biology disciplines and how they are used in modelling living organisms. An organism (top) is studied and information obtained on its genes

Euglena flagellate protozoans, SEM
Euglena flagellate protozoans. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Euglena sp. flagellate protozoans. Euglena sp. is a freshwater unicellular (single-celled)

Penicillium fungus, SEM
Penicillium fungus. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Penicillium sp. fungus. Specialised threads (hyphae, pink), called conidiophores, are seen

Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) mushroom lying among ling heather (Calluna vulgaris). This fungus is poisonous if ingested, however it is often used for its hallucinogenic properties when used in small

Larch bolete fungus (Suillus grevillei). Photographed in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK, in August

Protozoan RNA-binding protein complex
RNA-binding protein complex. Computer model showing a guide RNA-binding protein complex (green and blue), bound to guide RNA (gRNA, yellow and red))

Periphyton algae (Periphyton sp. )
Periphyton algae (Periphyton sp.) floating on the water surface. Periphyton is a complex matrix of algae, cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), heterotrophic microbes

Lichen, light micrograph
Lichen. Light micrograph of a section through tissue of a lichen. Lichens are symbiotic associations of a fungus (the mycobiont) with a photosynthetic partner (the photobiont)

"Unveiling the Diversity of Organisms: From Ancient Avian Dinosaurs to Microscopic Marvels" In this captivating journey through time and scale, we explore the fascinating world of organisms. Our first stop takes us back millions of years, where we encounter Archaeopteryx, a bird-like dinosaur that once soared across prehistoric skies. Picture No. 11675590 allows us a glimpse into its remarkable existence. Moving forward in history, Aspidonia greets us with its historical artwork from 1899. This masterpiece showcases the intricate beauty of an organism yet unknown to many. Palaeontology, c1910 introduces us to another mysterious creature whose creator remains anonymous but leaves behind invaluable knowledge for future generations. Shifting our focus towards microscopic life forms, we delve into the realm of Protozoa – single-celled organisms that scavenge for particles and microorganisms or absorb nutrients from their environment. Witnessing their survival strategies is truly awe-inspiring. Microscopic views grant us access to two notorious organisms - human respiratory syncytial virus and chlamydia - both causing significant health concerns worldwide. These images serve as reminders of the complex interplay between humans and these tiny entities. Venturing underwater reveals breathtaking wonders such as sea fan X-ray imagery showcasing vibrant marine life thriving amidst coral reefs' splendorous ecosystem. Diatoms captured through scanning electron microscopy offer a glimpse into nature's artistic side while highlighting their crucial role in aquatic habitats. Our exploration wouldn't be complete without acknowledging scientific advancements in understanding diseases like syphilis; projection slides from the 1920s provide insight into this infamous organism's structure and impact on human health. As our journey nears its end, let's take a moment to appreciate nature's harmony by witnessing a fly gracefully soaring over a mesmerizing reef landscape—a reminder that even within vast ecosystems teeming with diverse organisms, every individual plays an essential role in maintaining the delicate balance of life.
