Sequence of light microscope images of the shell of a radiolarian (Druppatractus sp.). The focal plane moves through the radiolarian, showing the cage-like structure of its central capsule. Radiolaria are planktonic marine protozoa that form intricate shells of silica around their single cell. This specimen is a fossil found near Barbados, in a sample dating back to the early Eocene epoch (nearly 60 million years ago). | |
