alusiva rated 8 months ago- "Noctiluca scintillans, commonly known as the Sea sparkle is bioluminescent. They cause the lighting of the sea. Noctiluca is a Dinoflagellate. Unlike most of these single celled organisms Noctiluca is carnivorous. It captures its prey with its long tentacle. They can be 1 mm in diameter."

- ...From the page: "For several centuries artists have depicted the human figure, still-lifes, landscapes or non-figurative motives. One subject has been widely neglected all those years: Micro organisms! The Micropolitan Museum finally exhibits these often overlooked works of art which are only visible with the aid of the microscope. Curator Wim van Egmond has collected the finest microscopic masterpieces nature has ever produced during eons of natural selection and other life-sculpting mechanisms." ... ...Macrothrix laticornis is a remarkable waterflea. This female carries two winter eggs. These develop when conditions become less favourable.

Every small pool of fresh water contains the most astonishing life forms. What looks like filthy scum floating in a pond becomes breathtakingly beautiful under the microscope. Explore the mysterious micro world ruled by flagella, cilia and pseudopodia.
