False-coloured scanning electron micrograph of a cleaved sample of a crustose lichen growing on grey limestone, the orange are fungal threads and the green shows algal cells. The fungal threads anchor the algae in place, close to the surface of the lichen to optimise their position for photosynthesis. Size in real life: 0.14mm. Derbyshire, UK. February
