This will be the first of many posts in a collection of what I will call, “Digested Diatoms”. There are many ways to digest diatoms, all of which use some form of chemical reagent in order to remove the organic material. The sole purpose of this is so the minute details of the diatom structures

In todays post, we will be exploring one of the many forms “Scenedesmus” can come in. The genus Scenedesmus is a chlorophyte, a green alga, that can be solitary (rarely) or in a colonial form.
