Amphora ovalis diatoms, light microscopy footage. The cell at left is dividing, the cell at right is in a non-dividing state (interphase). Diatoms are single-celled algae that form an important part of the plankton at the base of the marine and freshwater food chains. Each diatom's siliceous cell wall is divided into two halves, one of which fits within the edges of the other like a box with a lid. Filmed in a sample of pond water from Berlin, Germany. | |
