Pleurosigma

My new year's resolution is to stop shooting new images until I have finished all the archiving and sorting out of my images. This is a marine diatom I shot in 2006. I think it's a Pleurosigma but I am not sure which species. Does anyone have an idea?

Do you remember what lens you used? Either he is huge, or the lens was. Very nice detail and color.

I think it was done with a 25X and than cropped. It was a small diatom. Another new year's resolution is not to forget to write down which lenses I use. :-)

Wim,
It's a beauty. Nice to see this small diatom alive after seing only its frustula in prepared slides
