Diatom. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the diatom chaetoceros peruvianus. Chaetoceros peruvianus is a marine diatom species with circumglobal distribution. The diatoms are a group of photosynthetic, single-celled algae containing about 10, 000 species. They form an important part of the plankton at the base of the marine and freshwater food chains. The characteristic feature of diatoms is their intricately patterned, glass-like cell wall, or frustule. The frustule often has rows of tiny holes, known as courtesy of Christopher S Lobban, UOG. Magnification: x3000 when printed 10 centimetres wide.
