Diatom, light micrograph C014 / 4673
Diatom. Differential interference contrast micrograph of a Gyrosigma sp. diatom. 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: x550 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Gyrosigma sp. diatom, captured through a light micrograph. Diatoms are single-celled algae that play a vital role in marine and freshwater ecosystems as part of the plankton at the base of food chains. With approximately 10,000 species, these photosynthetic organisms possess an unmistakable feature—a glass-like cell wall called a frustule, adorned with rows of minuscule holes known as striae. At a magnification of x550 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this image reveals the mesmerizing details and delicate structure of the diatom. The differential interference contrast technique employed in this micrograph enhances its clarity and depth, allowing us to appreciate every aspect of this microscopic marvel. The presence of chloroplasts within these unicellular organisms enables them to carry out photosynthesis and produce energy from sunlight. Their chlorophyll-rich cells contribute to their vibrant green coloration—an emblematic characteristic shared by many phytoplankton species. This photograph serves as a testament to both the scientific significance and aesthetic allure found within nature's smallest creations. It invites viewers into the fascinating world of microorganisms while highlighting their crucial role in sustaining life on our planet's aquatic realms.
