Third: | On the left, a Licmophora cell can be seen in the lateral (valvar) view, on the right we look at the girdleband (cingulim) of the cell, hence it is also called the “cingulare view”. |
Fourth: | Cells in valvar (left) and cingular (right) view. |
Fifth: | At the bottom left we see an abandoned stalk. Some of the Licmophora cells were detached from their stalks by preparation. To the right of the abandoned stalk is such a cell, which is now fixed to a sister cell with some jelly. |
