Description

Scanning electron micrograph of coralline algae. Coralline algae are characterized by a thallus that is hard because of calcareous deposits contained within the cell walls.

Technical Details

Image collected on an FEI Quanta Family Instrument using Magnification: 8000x, Horizontal Field Width: 37.3 μm, Voltage: 5 kV, Spot: 2 nA, and Working Distance: 8.2 mm.
