WEBJan 1, 2020 — Diatom ‘tags’ can also be read using high magnification imaging using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). As a contributory guidance to morphological diversity of diatoms we present a mini-atlas of diatom in the form of high resolution SEM images.
WEBdiatoms by optimizing their orientation. This quick technique puts grooves into a SEM stub so that as the diatoms are laid down they either land on the flat surface or in a variety of positions in the grooves, thereby reducing time required to capture taxonomically critical features.
