Filamentous alga, SEM
Filamentous alga. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a filamentous green alga. It comprises rod-shaped cells, linked into filaments or strands, containing the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll. This is a freshwater specimen. Filamentous algae occasionally form large mats and rafts on the surface of water. Some bacteria (pink) are seen on the surface of the alga

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a filamentous alga, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a mesmerizing array of rod-shaped cells intricately linked together to form filaments or strands. These filaments are adorned with the vibrant green hue characteristic of chlorophyll, the photosynthetic pigment responsible for harnessing sunlight. Belonging to the freshwater ecosystem, this particular specimen highlights how filamentous algae can occasionally amass into large mats and rafts on the water's surface. Adding another layer of intrigue to this composition, delicate pink-hued bacteria can be observed delicately resting upon the algal surface. The photograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into botany and aquatic ecosystems. It reminds us of nature's remarkable ability to create stunning patterns and structures at even microscopic levels. This visual representation is courtesy of Science Photo Library, renowned for their expertise in capturing scientific wonders through advanced imaging techniques. As we delve deeper into understanding our natural world, photographs like these serve as windows into unseen realms that exist all around us. They inspire awe and curiosity while reminding us of the vast diversity and complexity found within even seemingly simple organisms such as filamentous algae.
