Fluorescence interference contrast (FLIC) light micrograph of Micrasterias thomasiana var. notata algae. Micrasterias is a genus of unicellular green alga that displays a bilateral symmetry, with two mirror image semi-cells joined by a narrow isthmus containing the nucleus of the organism. Each semi-cell contains a single large chloroplast, the site of photosynthesis. Magnification: x360 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.
