Tardigrades under the microscope

The creature that looks a little scary in the picture is the tardigrade, in fact, the tardigrade in the picture is enlarged by the microscopic device, in fact, its smallest size is only 50 microns, and the largest is only 1.4 mm.

The tardigrade was first mentioned by a priest named Gotze in 1773, and it still lives on Earth and can be said to be an "ancient creature".

Of course, it is not only this that is amazing, but also its extremely tenacious vitality. In extremely dry or harsh environments, tardigrades shrink into a cylinder shape and wait for habitability (called "cryptogenesis"), in which tardigrades can survive in frozen, air-dried, hot, and even vacuum and radiation environments.
