Protozoan tentacle, TEM
Protozoan tentacle. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a cross-section through a tentacle of a Dendrocometes sp. protozoan showing the microtubule (purple circles) structure. Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton, which maintains the cells shape, allows some cellular mobility and is involved in intracellular transport. Magnification: x60, 000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a protozoan tentacle. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we are granted a rare glimpse into the microscopic world of nature's wonders. The cross-section reveals the mesmerizing structure of microtubules, depicted as vibrant purple circles, which form an essential part of the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton plays multiple crucial roles in maintaining cell shape, facilitating cellular movement, and aiding in intracellular transport. It is fascinating to observe how these tiny tubular structures contribute to the overall functionality of this single-celled organism. With a magnification level of x60,000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, every minute detail becomes apparent. This image serves as a testament to both the power and precision of modern microscopy techniques. As we delve deeper into its composition, we can appreciate the complexity and diversity found within our natural world. This photograph not only captures our imagination but also provides valuable insights into biological processes that occur on such minuscule scales. Whether you are fascinated by biology or simply intrigued by the wonders of life itself, this print offers a glimpse into an unseen realm where beauty meets science.
