THE NEW DIATOMARIUMS.
These are the world’s first diatom microscope slides created using this innovative, high-precision technology! Each slide features micromanipulated diatom specimens mounted within a revolutionary microscopic grid featuring engraved scientific names or reference numbers. The species lettering is 16 µm high, and each grid square measures 300 µm x 300 µm. Both the diatom array and the branding fit perfectly within the field of view of a standard 5x objective lens.
The New Diatomarium with engraved scientific names is a true compendium of the diatom world, featuring recent and fossil species from both marine and freshwater environments, including both centric and pennate forms. Click here here for a high-resolution image.
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.

Specimens belonging to Fossil Marine samples: Actinoptychus simbirskianus, Actinoptychus seductilis, Triceratium archangelskianum , Triceratium nobile, Medlinia venusta. Specimens belonging to Freshwater Recent samples: Pinnularia nobilis, Stauroneis phoenicenteron, Pinnularia viridis, Cymatopleura solea, Navicula oblonga. Specimens belonging to Freshwater Fossil samples: Stauroneis acuta, Epithemia turgida,Navicula angusta, Cymbella mexicana, Anomoeoneis polygramma, Surirella utahensis, Diploneis smithii. As with all our diatom micromanipulations, our proprietary high-refractive-index Diatom Cubed mountant was used for this microscope slide too This mountant is unalterable over time and has an R.I. > 1.7, ensuring maximum optical performance.
