Hydrothermal Worm Viewed Under An Electron Microscope (PHOTO)

This is not photoshop, no clever graphics, no movie scene... it's a hydrothermal worm.
And it's a real creature.
It's just really, really small. So small in fact, that this image comes from an electron microscope.
Taken using an FEI Quanta SEM, this image is amazingly zoomed in 525 times. The real width of the field in the image is 568μm, or 568/1000 of a millimeter. It's far larger than an atom, but still among the smallest living things.
The worm, as scary as it looks, is something most people will never actually get to see (or have to worry about, for that matter). Hydrothermal worms are deep sea creatures, almost as small as bacterium, and are largely found near hydrothermal vents in the ocean.
This shot was captured by Philippe Crassous and submitted to FEI's gallery. Other amazing shots taken using FEI's microscopes can be seen here.
Last month, scientists reported they had discovered the first multicellular life in the deep subsurface biosphere, or rather, "worms from hell." But perhaps the title is more fitting for this hydrothermal worm.

Saints and Sinners was terrific!
I tried to comment after the last post, but for some reason the internet didn't like me that day.
But it was beautifully done! Kudos to everyone involved!
That Precious picture is brilliant.
Thanks, Warren! It was the project where I started to feel like the pages I was producing were getting much closer to the way I wanted to draw. Rich (and Todd and Craig) was very supportive about letting me try to draw the story the way I felt I needed to. And the story itself was a dream to draw. All my personal faves, in terms of Perhapanauts characters, and a very cool setting. It was like drawing my own version of Guy Davis' MARQUIS!
Anyways, a big thanks to Todd, Craig and Rich for letting me play in the 'Haps' world!
And thanks to those that took the time to read it!
