Algae in soil, SEM
Algae in soil. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of peat in a flower pot showing the surface layer microworld. To the eye this layer is the green slime, which appears when light and moisture conditions are high. When examined under the microscope it consists predominantly of single celled and clumped green algae (blue, round). Also present are rectangular box-shaped diatoms, which are another algal form. A nematode worm (red, centre) is also seen. The underlying peat is not seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Algae in Soil, SEM" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the hidden world beneath our feet. The image showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of peat in a flower pot, revealing the intricate microworld on its surface layer. At first glance, this layer appears as vibrant green slime that emerges when light and moisture conditions are optimal. However, upon closer inspection under the microscope, it becomes apparent that this slimy layer is predominantly composed of single-celled and clumped green algae. These tiny organisms take on a blue round shape, creating an enchanting display of nature's diversity. Adding to the composition are rectangular box-shaped diatoms, another form of algal life thriving within this ecosystem. Their presence further emphasizes the complexity and richness found within even seemingly ordinary soil. Intriguingly, amidst this microscopic tapestry lies a nematode worm depicted in striking red hues at the center of attention. This unexpected sighting serves as a reminder that life exists in every nook and cranny of our environment. The underlying peat remains unseen but undoubtedly plays an essential role in sustaining these fascinating organisms' existence. Through this remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library's collection, we gain insight into the wonders occurring beneath our feet—reminding us to appreciate Earth's biodiversity at all scales.
