Description
Cyclotella (sike-low-tell-a). Centric diatom, seen from valve view. Three plastid profiles are visible around the periphery of the cell. Long thin organic spines project from the cell - and are believed to have a role in flotation. The pattern of pores in the frustule is used in identification. Marine. Phase contrast.
