EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Spirogyra algae, a filamentous green algae found in aquatic environments. The image, captured using polarised light microscopy by photographer Marek Mis, reveals the mesmerizing spiral arrangement of chloroplasts within the cylindrical cells of Spirogyra. The vibrant green filaments connect end to end, forming long and delicate structures that create a stunning visual display against the backdrop of a blue background. At a magnification of x100 when printed 10 centimetres wide, every minute detail is brought to life, allowing us to appreciate the complexity and diversity present in nature's microscopic world. Spirogyra algae belongs to the chlorophyte group and plays an essential role in freshwater ecosystems as photosynthetic organisms. Their chloroplasts enable them to harness sunlight for energy through photosynthesis, contributing significantly to oxygen production and nutrient cycling. This print serves as a reminder of the incredible biodiversity that exists even at microscopic levels. It highlights both the scientific significance and aesthetic appeal found within these microorganisms. Whether you are fascinated by biology or simply captivated by natural beauty, this image offers a glimpse into an unseen realm where spiralled wonders thrive amidst our watery habitats.
