Synedra ulna
Synedra ulna
.
Planapo 63x/1.4, DIC, 390µm length, 20µm width, stacked and stitched in Photoshop, Marine sample, Alboran Sea
Found this crazy long diatom (which I believe is Synedra ulna) on a drying slide. One can see the drop of water that surrounds it.
Linked image is 1500 pixels wide in order to make some more details visible.

Re: Synedra ulna
Hi 75RR,
interesting, those many small globular items. Do you have any idea? Are these oil drops or chloroplasts?

Re: Synedra ulna
Thanks WhyMe and ImperatorRex
I believe they are chloroplasts, I find it not uncommon in marine samples, particularly in Licmophorainteresting, those many small globular items. Do you have any idea? Are these oil drops or chloroplasts?

Re: Synedra ulna
Very nice photo ! I like the arrangement of the chloroplasts.
Last year, marine Ulva alga leaves were covered with "rosette" clusters of (maybe Synedra ?) long narrow diatoms. When they appear this spring, worthwhile to try and resolve the image to this level (albeit with phase, not DIC).

Many thanks Hobbyst46 and thomas.schwarz
Looking forward to your resultsLast year, marine Ulva alga leaves were covered with "rosette" clusters of (maybe Synedra ?) long narrow diatoms. When they appear this spring, worthwhile to try and resolve the image to this level (albeit with phase, not DIC).
