Art of Diatom algae (from Ernst Haeckel)Diatoms. Computer-enhanced engraving of assorted species of diatom. Diatoms are a group of single- celled algae. The two main morphological types of diatom are represented here
19th-century alga cyanotype. Cyanotype of the algae Cystoseira fibrosa, as produced by British botanist Anna Atkins (1799-1871)
Discosphaera tubifera, coccolithophoreScanning electron microscope (SEM) showing the unicellular planktonic algae Discosphaera tubifera from the North Atlantic surrounded by a sphere of calcite plates - coccoliths
Dictyota dichotomaCyanotype photograph by Anna Atkins, one of the first natural history photographers. From British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions, 1853. Date: 1853

Diatom, SEMDiatom. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the Arachnoidiscus sp. diatom. The diatoms are a group of photosynthetic, single- celled algae containing about 10, 000 species
Pond life, macrophotograph. At centre is a water flea (Daphnia sp.). A copepod (Cyclops sp.) carrying eggs is at bottom centre. Part of a colony of Volvox sp. algae is at bottom right
