Radiolaria — The Wondrous Forms of Living Creatures

Fujifilm Square
Finished
Plankton consists of diverse organisms that coast along ocean currents. Radiolaria are one of these many organisms. They are minute creatures measuring just a few millimeters in length, and are single cell organisms. They come in a diverse array of complex and beautiful shapes, and possess eye-catching mineral skeletons of mind-boggling formations.

These wondrous forms have attracted attention for many years. The detailed sketches of German naturalist Ernst Haekel (1834 — 1919) are particularly well known, and to mark the centenary of Haekel’s passing, the world’s first ever photo collection Radiolaria — wondrous forms of living creatures is being published, which records several species. With super-enlarged images, visitors will be able to enjoy the beauty of these sculpted forms without missing even the minutest part.
