Show me your aquarium - Page 78 - All Creatures Great & Small - PistonHeads UK - The image is a composite of two photographs. On the left, there is an underwater scene featuring a vibrant coral reef with various marine life such as fish and other aquatic creatures. The water is filled with colorful corals and different types of fish, showcasing the biodiversity of a healthy marine ecosystem.

On the right, there is a close-up photograph of a fluorescent microscope slide containing a stained cell sample. This slide has been dyed using a fluorescent stain like DAPI or Hoechst 33342, which selectively binds to DNA and fluoresces brightly under ultraviolet light. The stained cells appear as small, round objects with distinct blue-green fluorescence.

The juxtaposition of these two images highlights the stark contrast between the complexity and diversity of life found in marine ecosystems, as depicted on the left, and the microscopic world that exists within a single cell, as represented by the slide on the right. This comparison emphasizes the vast scales of biological existence and the importance of both macro-level biodiversity and microscopic cellular biology to our understanding of life on Earth.
