Climacostomum protozoan, SEM C016 / 9064
Climacostomum protozoan. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Climacostomum sp. unicellular ciliate protozoan, showing the cells large oral apparatus (round, centre). This structure features an adoral zone of membranelles (AZM) partly encircling a wide buccal cavity (mouth), which opens into the cytopharyngeal pouch. Magnification: x400 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Climacostomum protozoan, a unicellular ciliate protozoan. The image, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals the remarkable details of this tiny organism's large oral apparatus. At the center of the photo, we see the round shape of its oral apparatus, which is surrounded by an adoral zone of membranelles (AZM). These membranelles partially encircle a wide buccal cavity or mouth that leads into the cytopharyngeal pouch. The vibrant colors in this SEM image add to its visual appeal and highlight various structures within this microorganism. With a magnification level of x400 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail becomes visible to our eyes. Climacostomum protozoans belong to the fascinating world of protists and are known for their cilia-covered bodies. These hair-like projections called cilia play crucial roles in locomotion and feeding for these organisms. This photograph not only offers us an up-close look at one such Climacostomum species but also reminds us of the incredible diversity found in nature's microscopic realm. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly simple single-celled organisms lies complexity and wonder waiting to be explored.
