Diatom, light micrograph C014 / 4677
Diatom. Differential interference contrast micrograph of a Campylodiscus 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 Campylodiscus sp. diatom, captured through a light microscope. Diatoms are single-celled algae that play a vital role in marine and freshwater ecosystems as part of the planktonic food chains. With approximately 10,000 species, these photosynthetic organisms possess a unique characteristic - an exquisitely patterned glass-like cell wall known as a frustule. The image reveals the delicate details of the diatom's frustule, which often features rows of minuscule holes called striae. Magnified at x550 and printed at 10 centimeters wide, this micrograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and diversity found within nature's smallest creations. Diatoms rely on chloroplasts to carry out photosynthesis, making them essential contributors to oxygen production and carbon dioxide absorption in aquatic environments. Their presence in phytoplankton communities influences global nutrient cycles and supports countless other organisms higher up in the food chain. Frank Fox from Science Photo Library has skillfully captured this mesmerizing glimpse into the microscopic world of diatoms. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a scientific marvel, reminding us of nature's remarkable intricacies that often go unnoticed by our naked eyes.
