Scanning Electron Micrograph of Untreated Water Sample

This digitally-colorized scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an untreated water specimen extracted from a wild stream mainly used to control flooding during inclement weather, revealed the presence of unidentified organisms, which included bacteria, protozoa, and algae. In this particular image, unidentified sheets of algae were wrapped in a mass of what appeared to be a mucoid amorphous biofilm. Though many organisms found in untreated waters are harmless, there are many that are pathogenic t

Magnified 5756X, this 2002 scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revealed some of the ultrastructural morphology exhibited by two Hartmannella vermiformis amoeba trophozoites. Note that one of the amoebas took on a very distorted shape, having extruded a number of pseudopodia, as it moved across the surface of the coupon. The trophozoite stage of an amoeba's life cycle is its vegetative phase, devoted to feeding, movement, and reproduction. This free-living protozoan moves in response to chemical cues in its environment by extending pseudopodia, or false feet, a number of which are visible in this image. CDC/Dr Rodney Donlan 2002

This is a microscopic image showing a close-up of textured surfaces and spherical structures, likely taken with a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Seen emerging from behind its left compound eye, under a low magnification of 36X, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted the mid-region of this unidentified hornets left antenna. Found in the suburbs of Decatur, Georgia, this antenna was one of a pair, which along with other sensorial structures such as the hair-like setae, seen here coating the antennas surface, and the surface of insects head, provided the hornet with data indicative of changes encountered in its environment su

Yeast makes bread, beer and wine. And like us, yeast can reproduce sexually. A mother and father cell merges and a large cell which contains four offspring. When environmental conditions are favorable, the offspring are released, as shown here. Yeasts are also a popular subject of study for scientists. Yeast research has yielded vast knowledge of basic cellular and molecular biology as well as a myriad of human diseases, including colon cancer and various metabolic disorders.

Magnified 3850X, this 2002 scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revealed some of the ultrastructural morphology exhibited by what is thought to be a single Hartmannella vermiformis amoeba cyst and debris artifact. The amoeba assumes the cystic stage of its life cycle under harsh conditions such as drought, or when there is an accumulation of environmental toxins, thus reducing its metabolic needs. Under these circumstances, the protozoan produces a protective coat and goes into a dormant state. CDC/Dr Rodney Donlan 2002
