Radiolarian. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the shell of a radiolarian. Radiolaria are single-celled protozoans that are found in marine plankton. This radiolarian has a silicate skeleton with pores through which pseudopodia (false feet,not seen) of protoplasm project. As the animal floats in ocean currents,the pseudopodia trap food particles on which the radiolarian feeds. Magnification: x130 when printed 10 cm wide | |
