This Surirella was imaged with the AO Smith-Baker interference scope with a 40x shearing setup. The specimen is a fossil diatom from a formation in the Isle of Skye off the coast of Scotland.

This centric diatom was illuminated with phase contrast using a dark medium 40x phase objective. The camera was a Sony DSC-P52. Post processing was applied to the background and to the edges of the diatom.
