Diatoms (16 photos)
The objects presented in these wonderful pictures can seem alien, but, in fact, everything is magnified many times the cells of living organisms - diatoms. Oceanographer Paul Hargreaves has used an electron microscope to take pictures of these creatures, and artist Faye Darling retouch images with the help of special computer programs.
1. This picture probably looks like a Salvador Dali painting "The Face of Mae West", but in fact - it is made with an electron microscope picture of one of the species of diatom - a tiny single-celled marine creatures invisible to the naked eye.
2. This Photo dinoflagellate - we see the dorsal part of the algae Protoceratium reticulatum ...
3. Dr. Paul Hargreaves and Fay Darling called dinoflagellates that "MiroMira2", although they are more like a couple of cakes.
4. This creature looks like a steamer iron, although the authors called this picture "Gem Tibet».
5. Here is another picture taken with the electron microscope and computer retouching, which shows the silicon diatomaceous algae.
6. This image Dr. Paul Hargrivers and Faye Darling called "Peanut Opal».
7. This photograph they dubbed "Blue turtle».
8. "Twin Crown».
9. This being the authors dubbed the "Crooked Leg».
10. Specially tinted cell diatom genus Entomoneis.
11. Images dinoflagellates. Outbreaks of their populations often lead to the appearance of "red tides».
12. The structure of the united dinaflogillyata and diatoms.
13. amoeba.
14. The structure titled "Wind Rose».
15. diatoms - kind of algae or phytoplankton, the average size of which is usually about 50, 8 micrometers. These chips existed long before the dinosaurs.
