These stunningly beautiful, extraordinarily diverse, and numerous organisms, invisible to the naked eye, are vital for all life on Earth. Phytoplankton, small plant-like cells, produce half of the Earth's oxygen through photosynthesis, akin to plants and trees on land. Zooplankton form the foundation of aquatic life's food chain. Plankton also plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. However, they face significant threats from climate change, global warming, and the acidification of oceans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJan van Ijken's meticulous photography, captured through microscopes, unveils the intricate beauty and delicate structures of these minute organisms in exquisite detail.
