Chrysochromulina (cry-so-crumb-you-line-a) a single-celled haptophyte, with two similar flagella, a short haptonema lying between the flagella, and golden plastids. This may be C. herdlensis. Differential interference microscopy.

Chrysochromulina (cry-so-crumb-you-line-a) ericina a single-celled haptophyte, with two similar flagella, long anterior haptonema and a golden colour from two yellow-brown chloroplasts. Small scales lie on the surface of the cell but these are not evident in this image. Phase contrast microscopy.

This image was made from samples taken during a scientific cruise in the Pacific. Water was filtered to concentrate the organisms that were present, then dried onto a thin sheet of plastic and then shadowed with a fine layer of metal to provide contrast. The preparation was then observed with an electron-microscope. This technique has been used to document the diversity of marine microbes, especially, protists in the oceans.
