Paramecium protozoan, SEM
Paramecium protozoan, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Paramecia are a group of unicellular ciliate protozoa. They inhabit fresh water, and feed mainly on bacteria and smaller protozoa. Paramecia range from about 50 to 350 micrometres in length, depending on species. Simple cilia, which cover the body, are moved in a synchronous motion to allow the cell to move.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Paramecium protozoan, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors in this false-colored image bring to life the fascinating world of these unicellular ciliate protozoa. Found in freshwater environments, Paramecia play an essential role as they primarily feed on bacteria and smaller protozoa. Ranging from 50 to 350 micrometers in length, depending on the species, Paramecia possess simple cilia that cover their bodies. These delicate hair-like structures move synchronously, enabling the cell's graceful movement through its aquatic habitat. At a magnification of x825 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the minute details and complexity of this microorganism's structure. It serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and highlights the wonders that lie beyond what can be seen with the naked eye. Through this mesmerizing image, we gain insight into the field of biology and microbiology while exploring zoological realms rarely observed by humans. This stunning portrayal is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to scientific advancements that enable us to uncover hidden worlds within our own ecosystem.
