Image description:

A group of Lingulodinium polyedra cells taken on a JEOL JSM 6390LV Scanning electron microscope at 1200 x magnification. The cells were grown in culture at the Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa, hosted by the Scottish Association for Marine Science. The filter paper in the image background was darkened using the shading tool in Photoshop CC to make it less distracting. Lingulodinium polyedra is a bioluminescent dinoflagellate and was isolated from a sample taken in Loch Creran, Scotland.
