Photographic Print : Diatom, SEM
Photo Prints from Fine Art Storehouse
Diatom, SEM
Diatom. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a single diatom (Arachnoidiscus sp.). Diatoms may be extremely abundant in both freshwater and marine ecosystems; it is estimated that 20% to 25% of all organic carbon fixation on the planet is carried out by diatoms. This is possible because they contain chlorophyll. Diatoms are a major food resource for marine and freshwater microorganisms and animal larvae, and are a major source of atmospheric oxygen. A unique feature of diatom cells is that they are enclosed within a cell wall made of silica (hydrated silicon dioxide) called a frustule. Magnification: x800 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a diatom, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The diatom in focus belongs to the Arachnoidiscus species and is found abundantly in both freshwater and marine ecosystems. These tiny organisms play a crucial role in our planet's carbon fixation process, contributing approximately 20% to 25% of all organic carbon fixation worldwide. Their ability to carry out this essential task stems from their possession of chlorophyll. Diatoms serve as an important food source for various microorganisms and animal larvae residing in marine and freshwater habitats. Moreover, they are responsible for generating a significant amount of atmospheric oxygen, making them vital contributors to Earth's overall oxygen supply. One remarkable characteristic that sets diatoms apart is their silica-based cell wall known as a frustule. This unique feature encloses the delicate cellular structure within hydrated silicon dioxide, providing protection while exhibiting stunning geometric patterns. The artist behind this mesmerizing artwork is Steve Gschmeissner, who skillfully utilized computer-generated techniques to bring forth the microscopic wonders hidden within nature's realm. When printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image offers viewers an astonishing magnification level of x800 – allowing us to appreciate the intricacy and splendor present even at such minuscule scales.
