Structures from Nature

5/27/2018

"Nature's ability to make intricate microscopical structures out of inorganic materials such as silica and calcium carbonate is perhaps one of the most wonderful feats of nature that the microscopy enthusiast can appreciate. Diatom frustules, of course need no introduction, but sponge spicules, radiolaria 'shells' and echinoderm spines are other examples. This is a small selection of 'Nature's structures' under the microscope other than diatoms from the author's modest slide collection."

"La habilidad de la naturaleza para hacer estructuras microscópicas intrincadas de materiales inorgánicos como el sílice y carbonato de calcio es quizás una de las hazañas más maravillosas de la naturaleza que el entusiasta de la microscopía puede apreciar. Las frústulas diatómicas, por supuesto, no necesitan presentación, pero las espículas de esponja, y las corazas de radiolaria y las espinas del equinodermo son otros ejemplos. Esta es una pequeña selección de 'estructuras de la naturaleza' bajo el microscopio que no sean diatomeas de la modesta colección de diapositivas del autor ".

"Phoronids are a small phylum of marine animals that filter-feed with a lophophore and build upright tubes of chitin to support and protect their soft bodies. They live in most of the oceans and seas including the Arctic Ocean but excluding the Antarctic Ocean, and between the intertidalzone and about 400 meters down. Most adult phoronids are 2 cm long and about 1.5 mm wide, although the largest are 50 cm long".
