Reef-building corals farm and feed on their photosynthetic symbionts https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06442-5
"corals farm and feed on their photosynthetic #symbionts—#microscopic #algae that live inside their cells. This allows the corals to tap into a large pool of #nutrients that was previously considered unavailable to them."
Twenty different images of #microscopic #photography, including #RedBloodCells, #Macaw #feathers, legs of #barnacles, #mouse #neurons and more!
I'm tempted to get them just for decoration.
They are #ForeverStamps, always equivalent to the current first-class-mail one oz price.

I decided to try watering my #orchids the way the guides say so I dumped the pot in a container of water.
While they were soaking up the moisture I noticed tiny creatures scuttling about on the water surface…
So I grabbed the #macro lens, as you do
The first one was no more than 2mm long and the second was significantly smaller - 1mm or less
Any ideas what they might be?

Researchers have developed and demonstrated a #robot capable of sorting, manipulating, and identifying #microscopic #marine #fossils. The new technology automates a tedious process that plays a key role in advancing our understanding of the world’s #oceans and #climate – both today and in the #prehistoric past.

These #microscopic crystal images were taken by my father. Dissolve Vitamin C in water, put a drop on the slide, wait for evaporation and photograph what remains. Very simple steps, but the results are (to me) endlessly varied and beautiful.
The László Nagy laboratory has published a beautiful and detailed fungal tree of life of microscopic diversity. You can Download it in high resolution!!!
