Discover the intriguing world of Sessile Rotifers with our stunning poster prints from Media Storehouse. This captivating image, sourced from Science Photo Library, showcases five Floscularia ringens rotifers, each one gracefully attached to vegetation, enclosed in protective sheaths made from their own faecal pellets. Add this mesmerizing poster to your laboratory, classroom or home decor to inspire curiosity and fascination with the wonders of the microscopic world.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of sessile rotifers. In this light micrograph, five Floscularia ringens rotifers are seen attached to vegetation, displaying their unique characteristics. Each rotifer is encased in a remarkable sheath constructed from faecal pellets, which adds a touch of brown to the image. Zooming in closer, one can observe the fascinating yellow ciliated corona extending outwards from each rotifer. These delicate hair-like structures play a crucial role as filter feeders for these aquatic invertebrates. As they extend their coronas into the surrounding water, they capture microscopic subjects such as algae and other organic matter necessary for sustenance. The magnified image allows us to appreciate the complexity and diversity present within our natural world. It highlights the extraordinary adaptations that enable these sessile creatures to thrive in their environment. The presence of hornwort and Chara sp. , both types of algae commonly found in freshwater habitats, further emphasizes the interconnectedness between different organisms within ecosystems. This photograph not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides valuable insights into zoology and zoological studies. By showcasing these microscopic wonders through light microscopy techniques, it encourages us to explore and understand more about our planet's diverse fauna.
