Cymatopleura diatoms. Light microscopy footage of the freshwater diatoms Cymatopleura librile (also called Cymatopleura solea). 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 water from the River Oder in Poland. | |
