He could see diatoms across the field of view as he peered into a microscope to see plankton from Tokyo Bay as part of his research on maritime environment. "I saw so many shells that appeared ...

Microscopic algae, such as diatoms, can be picked up from virtually anywhere there is water – including seas, soils and even moist surfaces such as exposed rocks. While diatoms traditionally have been ...

The film explores the microscopic world found in a drop of pond water, revealing a diverse ecosystem of tiny plants and animals. It illustrates how these microorganisms, such as amoebas, green algae, ...

This may look like Salvador Dali's Mae West Lips Sofa, but it is a colourised scanning electron microscope image of a diatom - a tiny single-celled marine creature invisible to the naked eye.

Slides like those containing a single, luminous diatom; the exoskeletons of ... and sights once available to only a few, like the view through a microscope or telescope, became widely available.

Blooms of diatoms—microscopic, photosynthetic algae—were alive and well beneath (and within) the lake's ice cover. "Some of the main winter-spring diatom bloom formers, like Aulacoseira ...

After a while, I decided to look at these samples in the microscope, and then I saw the many different diatom cells. So now we know that very high numbers of nitrate-storing diatoms also live on ...

Diatoms are microscopic unicellular algae occurring in natural waters worldwide. During photosynthesis, they take up large quantities of carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas emitted through ...

Several different phytoplankton species, including diatoms and dinoflagellates, seen through a microscope. These species use the VHA-enhancing mechanism of photosynthesis discovered in a new study.

Photograph by Professor Alvaro Andrade Forensic scientists examine the marrow of the dead to look for diatoms—microscopic algae with shells of silica—that are characteristically found in ...
