Microscopische opname van synapta glabra-diatomeeën, zestig keer vergroot 1887 - 1888

This photomicrograph, titled "Microscopische opname van synapta glabra-diatomeeën, zestig keer vergroot", by Dutch artist Marinus Pieter Filbri, depicts a microscopic view of diatoms, magnified sixty times. The image shows a collection of intricate, circular diatom shells, with their distinctive, radial patterns, and several hook-shaped structures. Filbri's work, produced in the late 19th century, exemplifies the burgeoning interest in microscopic observation and the use of photography to document scientific discoveries.
