The diatom collection at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History is drawn from a variety of sources. It contains uncleaned and cleaned material, as well as permanent slides and material ...

However, under a microscope, their glitters and colors differ depending on how the light strikes them, like a kaleidoscope. Oku became fascinated by the beauty of diatoms when he was a graduate ...

Atomic force microscopy is a subset of scanning probe microscopy. The Veeco Dimension 3000 operates in both tapping and contact modes, with capabilities of topographic and phase imaging, lateral force ...

Conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) is a powerful nanoscale characterization technique that combines the high-resolution imaging capabilities of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with the ability ...

Scientists have found that an increase in water salinity in the cells of the marine diatom Nitzschia weakens the connections between the components of the photosynthetic apparatus and disrupts the ...
