This print by Marek Miś showcases the intricate beauty of Micrasterias desmids, a common group of freshwater single-celled algae. The polarised light micrograph reveals the stunning details of Micrasterias truncata, a green alga known for its highly adapted nature in nutrient-poor and acidic water environments. The image transports us into the microscopic world of pond life, where these delicate organisms thrive. Against a serene blue background, the duo of Micrasterias desmids appears like an artistic masterpiece created by nature itself. The botanical elegance is evident in their complex cell walls, which are intricately designed to withstand their challenging habitat. With a magnification of x400 and printed at 10 centimetres wide, this print allows us to appreciate every minute detail with awe-inspiring clarity. Marek Miś's expertise in capturing biological subjects shines through as he presents this mesmerizing glimpse into the realm of unicellular life. The use of polarised light adds another dimension to our understanding and appreciation of these microorganisms' unique characteristics. This print not only serves as a testament to the wonders found within our natural world but also reminds us that even in seemingly inhospitable conditions, life finds ways to adapt and flourish. It is an invitation to explore further into the fascinating field of microbiology and marvel at the diversity that exists within even the tiniest forms of life.
