Diatoms, light micrograph C014 / 4675
Diatoms. Differential interference contrast micrograph of a group of Meridion circulare diatoms. Diatoms are a group of photosynthetic, single-celled algae containing about 10, 000 species. They form an important part of the plankton at the base of the marine and freshwater food chains. Their characteristic feature is the intricately patterned glass-like cell wall, or frustule, which often has rows of tiny holes, known as striae. Magnification: x460 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of diatoms, specifically a group of Meridion circulare diatoms. Diatoms are single-celled algae that play a crucial role in marine and freshwater ecosystems as part of the plankton at the base of food chains. With approximately 10,000 species, they exhibit a wide range of forms and patterns. The distinguishing feature of diatoms is their exquisitely patterned glass-like cell wall, known as a frustule. This frustule often displays rows of minute holes called striae, adding to their visual allure. In this light micrograph captured using differential interference contrast microscopy, we can observe these details with astonishing clarity. Magnified to x460 and printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image allows us to appreciate the delicate structures within each individual diatom. The chloroplasts present in these unicellular organisms enable photosynthesis by harnessing sunlight through chlorophyll pigments. Through this photograph, we gain insight into the microscopic world teeming with life beneath our waters. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant organisms like diatoms contribute significantly to our planet's ecological balance. Frank Fox's expertise behind the lens has beautifully immortalized these fascinating microorganisms found within nature's vast botanical realm.
