You have to check this out. When you open the link, slide down a little to see the .gif run. Sorry for all the extraneous stuff that comes with the URL. I could not figure how to get rid of it.
This gif of a microscopic bacterium is the most amazing thing you’ll see today
Excerpt:
Once
you’ve picked yourself up off the floor in amazement, you’ll probably
want to know exactly what you’re looking at in this image.
At the
final stop in this gif, which magnifies many times, is a tiny
bacterium, which is resting on a diatom, (a class of algae that are
known for their silica shells), which is sitting on an amphipod, a type
of shell-less crustacean.
We think that Reddit user adamwong246 described it best:
There’s a bacterium on a diatom on an amphipod on a frog on a bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea!
The
animated gif was made by James Tyrwhitt-Drake using a scanning
electronic microscope at the University of Victoria’s Advanced
Microscopy Facility.
