Micrasterias alga. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the desmid Micrasterias sp. . The desmids are a group of freshwater unicellular green algae characterised by their intricately- shaped cell walls and symmetrical shapes. Micrasterias are part of the placoderm desmids where each cell is divided into two semi-cells joined by the narrow region known as the isthmus (centre). Magnification: x180 at 5x7cm size. x495 at 5x7ins
