Pinnularia diatoms, light microscopy footage. One diatom is seen in profile (girdle view) at left. The other two are seen from above (valve view). Their siliceous cell walls are divided into two halves, one of which fits within the edges of the other like a box with a lid. Diatoms are single-celled algae that form an important part of the plankton at the base of the marine and freshwater food chains. Filmed in a sample of water from a ditch on the North Sea island of Amrum, Germany. | |
