Premium Framed Print : Paramecium bursaria protozoan, micrograph
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Paramecium bursaria protozoan, micrograph
Paramecium bursaria protozoan, light micrograph. This ciliate protozoan inhabits freshwater, where it feeds mainly on bacteria. It moves by beating its cilia, hair-like extensions that cover its body. The small green bodies inside the protozoan are individual Zoochlorella sp. algae, which have a symbiotic relationship with the protozoan. They photosynthesise inside the Paramecium, providing it with sugars and oxygen, while deriving protection from their host. Darkfield illumination. Magnification: x510 when printed 10cm wide

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 from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of the Paramecium bursaria protozoan. In this stunning light micrograph, we are given a glimpse into the life of this ciliate protozoan that thrives in freshwater environments. Its main source of sustenance comes from bacteria, which it consumes with its hair-like extensions called cilia. What makes this image even more fascinating is the presence of small green bodies within the protozoan. These individual Zoochlorella sp. algae have formed a symbiotic relationship with their host. They reside inside the Paramecium and engage in photosynthesis, providing essential sugars and oxygen to their host while receiving protection in return. The darkfield illumination used for this photograph enhances every detail, allowing us to appreciate the complexity of these microscopic organisms. With a magnification level of x510 when printed at 10cm wide, we can truly marvel at nature's intricacies on such a minuscule scale. This print not only highlights the beauty found within our natural world but also serves as a reminder of how interconnected different species can be. It is through such symbiotic relationships that life flourishes and adapts to various environments. Whether you are interested in biology, zoology or simply captivated by wildlife photography, this image offers an awe-inspiring glimpse into unseen ecosystems thriving beneath our feet.
