EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of marine protozoa shells. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the image reveals a stunning array of colors and textures found within these microscopic creatures. The shells, known as tests, belong to various species including foraminifera, coral spicules, radiolarian tests, and coccoliths. These delicate organisms are an essential part of marine plankton that drifts in seas and oceans worldwide. At a magnification of x100 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details that would otherwise go unnoticed by the naked eye. The vibrant green background adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the natural environment in which these creatures thrive. Each shell represents a unique biological structure composed primarily of calcium minerals. This image not only highlights the fascinating world of marine zoology but also serves as a reminder of nature's remarkable diversity. It offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at the wonders hidden beneath our planet's vast bodies of water. With its vivid colors and detailed features, this print from Science Photo Library is sure to captivate anyone with an interest in biology or wildlife photography.
