Celled Collection

Discosphaera tubifera, coccolithophore
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) showing the unicellular planktonic algae Discosphaera tubifera from the North Atlantic surrounded by a sphere of calcite plates - coccoliths

Diatoms
Selected slide of a group of fossil diatoms collected from Bori, Hungary in September 1895 and viewed under the light microscipe using differential interfereance contrast

Emiliana huxleyi, coccolith
Scanning electron microscope image of a complete sphere of coccoliths from modern oceans. These are thin calcite shells protecting the coccolithophore within

Foraminifer model
Model of typical nummulitic foraminfer after Zittel

Nummulites gizehensis, nummulites
These fossils are embedded in Eocene limestone from 2km north-east of Gizeh, west of Cairo. Nummulites were single celled animals that lived on the sea bed

Foraminifera models
One drawer containing some of d Orbigny models and slides previously displayed alongside the models in the galleries

Foraminifera
Part of the display of foraminifera from The Great Exhibition of 1851. Featured are specimens from the London Clay, the Paris Basin and the Gulf of Suez

Ceratolithoides aculeus, coccolith
Scanning electron microscope image of an isolated coocolith from Cretaceous chalk. These are thin calcite shells protecting the coccolithophore within

Coccoliths
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of coccoliths, these are the limestone scales surrounding the marine phytoplankton coccolithophores

Myxomycetes, plasmodial slime mould
Scanning electron microscope image of a plasmodial slime mould spore (x12000). This mould spends most of its life as a single cell; when they reproduce they form a slug-like blob that can travel

A photograph of a foraminifera found in the Indian Ocean

Foraminiferan remains from the White Cliffs of Dover, U.K. The cliffs are made up of unimaginable numbers of chalky shells of long dead marine animals
