EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marek Mi├à┬ø showcases the intricate beauty of Euastrum desmids, a common group of freshwater single-celled algae. The polarised light micrograph captures the vibrant green hues and delicate cell walls that make these organisms truly remarkable. With a magnification of x400, this print allows us to appreciate the fine details even more when printed at 10 centimetres wide. Euastrum desmids are an essential part of aquatic ecosystems, contributing to the diversity and balance of pond life. Their presence not only adds aesthetic value but also plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological health. As unicellular organisms, they possess incredible biological complexity within their tiny structures. The use of polarised light microscopy further enhances our understanding and appreciation for these microorganisms. By manipulating light waves, this technique reveals hidden patterns and textures that would otherwise remain unseen to the naked eye. Marek Mi├à┬ø's photograph invites us into the fascinating world of botany and microbiology, where even seemingly simple organisms like desmids can captivate with their elegance and intricacy. It serves as a reminder that nature's wonders extend far beyond what we can perceive on the surface - there is always something extraordinary waiting to be discovered under closer examination.
