Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Coloured SEM of foraminiferan, Spirolina sp
Foraminiferan shell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the test (shell) of the Mediterranean foraminiferan, Spirolina areitinus. Foraminifera are single-celled protozoa which construct and inhabit shells composed of several chambers. These are usually penetrated by pores through which the cellular contents is extruded. The organisms live in the sea or salt- water lakes. The shells form an important component of chalk. In previous geological ages foraminifera occurred in such large numbers that their shells, largely of calcium carbonate, have formed fossil deposits seen today as limestone. Magnification: x72 at 6x7cm size. x180 at 6.25x4.75ins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the intricate test (shell) of a Mediterranean foraminiferan known as Spirolina areitinus. Foraminifera, fascinating single-celled protozoa, construct and inhabit these shells consisting of multiple chambers. These chambers are often permeated by pores through which the cellular contents are extruded. Found in the sea or salt-water lakes, these organisms play a vital role in forming chalk deposits. In ancient geological eras, foraminifera thrived abundantly, resulting in their calcium carbonate shells becoming fossilized and forming limestone formations that we marvel at today. This SEM image provides an up-close look at the delicate details and vibrant colors present within this tiny shell structure. With a magnification of x72 at 6x7cm size or x180 at 6.25x4.75ins size, this photograph offers us insight into the world of zoology and invertebrate life. The spirolina arietinus specimen captured here is part of nature's rich tapestry, highlighting its significance as both wildlife and planktonic organism. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this awe-inspiring image to showcase the beauty found within our natural world while also providing valuable scientific information about these remarkable creatures called foraminifera.
