Description

Brightfield image using an depth of fieldd showing the skeleton of a radiolarian, a single-cell protozoan with an intricate mineral skeleton. Radiolarian skeletons typically have a central capsule dividing the cell into inner and outer portions, called endoplasm and ectoplasm. Honorable Mention, 2011 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition®.
