Sampling date 10/2008. Scale bars indicate 100 µm (1), 25 µm (2), 50 µm (3).
Three images.
| First: | Lesquereusia modesta with details of the test and an overview (inset) depicting the shape with the unsymmetrical neck. The test is composed of a mixture of siliceous rods and plates and quartz grains. Scale bar belongs to the main object. |
| Second: | A closer look on the idiosomes (siliceous rods and plates) of the Lesquereusia modesta test. On the left there is a sieve-like region. This represents the proteinaceous matrix of the test, in which idiosomes an xenosomes (quartz grains) are embedded. |
| Third: | Apertural view on Lesquereusia modesta showing circular pseudostom (aperture) and a defecation vacuole which was offloaded a short time after taking images. |
