Ciliate protozoa dividing
Ciliate protozoa. Light micrograph of unidentified ciliate protozoa (class Ciliata) undergoing asexual reproduction. These unicellular micro-organisms can multiply by either of two methods. The cells seen here are forming from one cell, which divided equally into two identical daughter cells (binary fission). Ciliates can also reproduce by budding, where one small cell forms from a larger cell. They are named for the numerous cilia (short, hair-like structures) on the outside of their cell membrane. Dark field illumination. Magnification unknown

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing process of asexual reproduction in ciliate protozoa. The image, captured using light micrography and dark field illumination techniques, reveals an unidentified species of ciliates undergoing division. These remarkable unicellular organisms possess the ability to multiply through two distinct methods. In this particular snapshot, we witness binary fission taking place as one parent cell divides equally into two identical daughter cells. This intricate process highlights the astonishing complexity within these microscopic creatures' biology. Ciliates are aptly named for the abundance of short, hair-like structures called cilia that adorn their cell membranes. The photograph offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of zoology and invertebrate biology. It reminds us of the incredible diversity found in nature's smallest inhabitants and serves as a testament to their resilience and adaptability. As we delve deeper into this extraordinary microcosm, it becomes evident that these single-celled organisms play crucial roles in various ecosystems worldwide. Their ability to reproduce both through binary fission and budding ensures their continued survival and proliferation. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring visual representation of life's intricacies at its most fundamental level – reminding us that even within seemingly simple organisms lies a wealth of wonder waiting to be explored.
