Nitzschia diatom, light microscopy footage. This view shows the girdle bands (cingulum), plastids, and the nucleus. 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 water sample from a lake in South Korea. | |
