Microorganisms floating in seawater appear clearly through images magnified dozens to hundreds of times under a microscope.
Richard Kirby, a marine scientist in the UK, has spent his career studying and photographing plankton. The doctor highlights the incredible diversity and beauty of marine plankton.
His photos appear in the book Ocean Drifters by Richard Kirby. The tiny animals clearly visible under a microscope with high magnification show the diversity and richness of the marine microbial world, from the bulbous eyes and leg hairs of large plankton species to the shapes of large animals. strange forms of single-celled individuals.
They are usually microorganisms that live floating in water such as algae, larvae, and bacteria that live in both fresh and salt water.
The doctor said that if you drink a sip of sea water, you accidentally swallow hundreds to millions of plankton individuals.

Clear images help us observe every detail, shape, and hair of a lobster larva.
Dr. Kirby warns that global warming and warming ocean waters are changing the habitats of organisms, causing them to change in density, distribution and seasonal changes.
