Description: Dinoflagellate


A scanning electron microscope captured this pair of unicellular dinoflagellates in a drop of seawater found near the Opera House in Sydney, Australia. The microbes were later colorized to produce this image’s glowing, green hue. Scientists are just beginning to understand the impact such invisible organisms can have, for good or ill. Dinophysis species like these are associated with diarrhetic shellfish poisoning.
