Amoebae, SEM
Amoebae. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of two large protozoan amoebae (Amoeba proteus). A. proteus is commonly found on the bottom of pools and puddles. The species is recognised by the numerous pseudopodia (false feet) with which it moves and captures food. Magnification: x185 when printed 10cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of Amoeba proteus, a large protozoan amoeba commonly found in pools and puddles. The vibrant colors and detailed structure revealed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) make this image a true masterpiece of nature photography. The duo of amoebae showcased in this print showcases their unique ability to move and capture food using numerous pseudopodia, or false feet. These elongated projections give them an almost ethereal appearance as they navigate their watery habitat. At a magnification of x185 when printed 10cm high, every tiny detail becomes visible, allowing us to appreciate the complexity and elegance of these unicellular organisms. Their translucent bodies seem to glow with life under the SEM's lens, revealing a world that is often hidden from our naked eyes. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the vast diversity that exists within the animal kingdom. From microscopic creatures like Amoeba proteus to majestic mammals roaming across savannas, each species plays its part in maintaining balance within ecosystems. This print serves as a testament to both the wonders of biology and the power of scientific exploration. It invites us to delve into the fascinating realm of microbiology while also igniting our curiosity about Earth's diverse fauna.
