Techniques used for the cleaning, concentration, and observation of chrysomonad cysts from sediments
This report documents the techniques that we use to clean and concentrate chrysomonad cysts prior to examining them under a scanning electron microscope. Like diatoms, chrysomonad cysts are composed of opaline silica; the method we use is basically the same as one of the methods commonly used to prepare diatoms.
