EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of green algae under a fluorescent light microscope. The image features the filamentous alga Klebsormidium sp. , with its vibrant red chlorophyll pigment responsible for photosynthesis. This particular alga thrives in both freshwater and aero-terrestrial (biofilm) habitats, making it adaptable to various environments. With a magnification of x200 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this micrograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and colonial nature of these organisms. Each filament intertwines with others, forming an interconnected network that resembles an enchanting botanical tapestry. The fluorescence effect adds another layer of visual interest to this photo print, highlighting the unique characteristics of these green filaments. Under blue excitation, their true colors come alive, revealing their mesmerizing beauty. As we delve into the world of botany and biology through this image, we are reminded of nature's incredible diversity and resilience. Green algae play a vital role in our ecosystems by producing oxygen and serving as food sources for other organisms. This Science Photo Library print not only captures the essence of plant life but also serves as a reminder that even microscopic organisms can hold immense significance in our natural world.
