In this video we observe the empty frustule (house) of two diatoms of the genre Cocconeis, perhaps, without safety, Cocconeis fluviatilis.
They measure approximately 27um long.
There are a wonderful work of art.
We have found they on the Atlantic Ocean coasts - La paloma - Uruguay - South America.
Oblique light with phase 100X objective.
