Cyanobacteria, SEM
Cyanobacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of cyanobacteria (formally known as blue-green algae, blue). Several spores (pink) are also seen. These are reproductive structures that allow dispersal and are also able to survive unfavourable conditions for extended periods of time. Cyanobacteria are photosynthesising bacteria that are found in most habitats where water is present. Magnification: x20, 000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), we are granted a closer look at these remarkable organisms. The vibrant colors bring to life their spherical shape and filamentous structures. In this image, we can observe several reproductive spores scattered among the cyanobacteria. These pink-hued structures serve a crucial role in dispersal and survival during unfavorable conditions. Their ability to withstand harsh environments for extended periods is truly awe-inspiring. Cyanobacteria thrive in various habitats where water is present, making them ubiquitous in nature. As photosynthesizing bacteria, they play an essential role in ecosystems by producing oxygen and fixing nitrogen. The level of detail captured by Steve Gschmeissner's expertise with SEM technology is astounding. At a magnification of x20,000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every tiny aspect becomes visible to us – from the delicate filaments to each individual coccus-shaped bacterium. This mesmerizing photograph not only highlights the beauty found within microbiology but also serves as a reminder of how diverse and resilient life on Earth can be. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies that exist beyond what our naked eyes can perceive and sparks curiosity about the hidden wonders that surround us every day.
