This stunning image is a close up look at collagen fibers (second harmonic generation) and dermal pigment cells (autofluorescence) in embryonic skin scales of the African house snake. This non-venomous snake has a lifespan of 20+ years and received the nickname house snake because it frequents human habitats where trash is near.

Closterium.
The genus Closterium, living exclusively in freshwater environments, is one of the closest single cell relative to land plants and dates back 450 million years.
Håkan explains that up until recently, it had been assumed that the alga evolved the capability to source essential nutrients for its survival after it arrived on land by forming a close association with beneficial fungi. However, recent research shows the algal ancestor living in the earth's waters already possessed the set of genes needed to detect and interact with the beneficial fungi and the ability to live on land, making it possible for the alga to survive out of the water and to colonize the earth.
Without the development of this pre-adapted capability in alga, the earth could be a very different place today. However, the origin of these genes and their potential correlation with land colonization still remain a mystery.
This image was made by focus stacking images taken with DIC (40X) and X Line objectives.

(Surirella, Magnification 200x-400x, Sped Up 30-60 minutes, DIC , Microscope used: Olympus BX53)
As soon as the icy grip of winter subsides life pushes back into the emptiness this season leaves behind. Just think of flowers like snowdrops growing effortlessly through the thawing snow.
The microworld has its own spring pioneers: diatoms! These glass creatures proliferate explosively in the cool and silicon-rich water coming down the flanks of mountains where the snowmelt has set in with all its might.
Surirella, shown here in the footage, is my personal favorite. These diatoms start to form a 2 cm deep, golden brown layer at the bottom of mountain springs and emanate the silent hum of Vivaldi’s Four seasons. Surrrrirella!
