Thanks to electron microscopes, we can get an extremely close-up view of the wonder—or the horror—of the world around us.

bosmina are small, planktonic crustaceans, between 0.2 and 5 mm in length.

They live in various aquatic environments ranging from acidic swamps to freshwater lakes, ponds, streams and rivers.
