Many small peripheral chloroplasts and a central nucleus. May form very long filaments, this sample collected from a large (easily visible with the naked eye) clump. Differential interference contrast. This image taken by Michele Bahr and David Patterson of material collected from the water column and the margins of Lake Toolik (Alaska, USA) in August, 2001.
