MICROSCOPE SLIDES OF MICROMANIPULATED DIATOMS FORMING WORDS, INITIALS OR LETTERS!
A unique gift for you or your loved ones! Request your own customized arrangement. Only circular diatoms of the same species and size - such as Paralia sulcata (Ehrenberg) Cleve or Lindavia ozensis (Tanaka & Nagumo) Nakov et al., 2015 - are selected and perfectly micromanipulated. Each diatom has a diameter of approximately 30 µm, and the words are only visible under a light microscope. All micromanipulated diatoms are guaranteed to be fixed directly to the underside of the custom, optical-quality cover glass (rather than the microscope slide) for maximum resolution and contrast. This is because microscope objective lenses are designed to be optimally corrected for objects located immediately below the coverslip; performance drops noticeably as the distance between the specimen and the cover glass increases.
Diatoms are mounted in Diatom Lab’s proprietary high-refractive-index Diatom Cubed mountant. It is unalterable over time and has an R.I. > 1.7, ensuring maximum optical performance. Diatoms are attached to the underside of the cover glass by means of Diatom Lab's unique NANO-ADHESIVE, which is invisible even in phase contrast, darkfield illumination, differential interference contrast (DIC) and oblique illumination! This ensures all the finest Diatom details such as areolae, poroids, striae and so on, are always perfectly clean, regardless of the technique used, with the additional benefit that there are no traces, stains or swipe-marks caused by fixatives typically seen on some older preparations. Our NANO-ADHESIVE is also invisible to scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), and is therefore used to create a clean background for our SEM specimen preparations.
