Description
Magnified detail of the glassy shell of a single-celled marine animal called a radiolarian, which has apparently eaten three even smaller plant-like diatoms and incorporated their shells into its own for extra strength. These shells were filtered from seawater collected near Barbados during a study of microplankton ecology. SEM x3500.
