This is a diatom and it’s dying. . Diatoms are single-celled organisms with silica cell walls. Silica is the main ingredient for glass, so being an organism with a silica cell wall means that you live in a gorgeous glass house. . When the diatoms die, they sink to the bottom and everything but their cell wall decomposes. One cell wall at a time, their gorgeous carcasses create meters thick layers of deposits which we call diatomaceous earth. . And then we mine these deposits and use diatomaceous

This is a gorgeous diatom, Diploneis, and when I say gorgeous I mean it! Look at that thing! . Diatoms are often called “jewels of the sea”, their silica cell walls look like skillfully cut gems. And remember silica is the main composition of glass! . There are a hundred thousand described species of diatoms with glass cell walls, and each of them has a specific pattern of pores, bumps, grooves... At 1000x magnification, you can see the pores and all the other structures that Diploneis has on it

Look at these beautiful diatom colonies! Four golden cells magically attach to each other to create these wonderful looking “X”s! . They are always in my samples I collect from a nearby river but never got to record them at 1000x magnification before. They look stunning. . Diatoms are single-celled organisms with silica cell walls, which makes them living glass organisms, literally! There are so many of them everywhere there is water, they produce 20% of the oxygen generated on Earth annually. .
