Diatoms from mountain stream
I sampled a small lake and mountain stream yesterday. (That's where I found the desmid I posted earlier). I scraped a small piece of what looked like a very "fine" algae off of a rock in a fast moving stream. It was predominantly chains of the diatoms seen here.

Craig,
If you look you can see the "mucilage" that holds them together at the corners. I probably should have added scale bars to these, but the total scene width recorded (left to right) is 0.18mm or 0.078inch.
The geometry alone is fascinating... one reason I decided to do a b+w rendition.Such intricate structure...
