Climacostomum protozoan, SEM C016 / 9120
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Climacostomum protozoan, a unicellular ciliate protozoan found in aquatic environments. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the remarkable structure of this tiny organism's large oral apparatus at its center, resembling a spherical shape. The oral apparatus is composed of an adoral zone of membranelles (AZM), which partially encircles a wide buccal cavity or mouth. This unique feature opens into the cytopharyngeal pouch, allowing for feeding and digestion processes within the cell. Photographed at x400 magnification and printed 10 centimeters wide, this image captures the attention to detail required to study these microscopic organisms in depth. It highlights their significance in fields such as zoology, biology, and microbiology. The vibrant colors used in this SEM add an artistic touch to the scientific representation of nature's wonders. The contrasting hues emphasize different structures within the Climacostomum protozoan, making it visually striking. Through images like these from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the mesmerizing world that exists beyond our naked eye's perception. They remind us that even within single-celled organisms lies complexity and diversity worth exploring further.
