Planktonic Foraminifera — new dimensions with the Scanning Electron Microscope

Extremely fine, detailed morphological characteristics of micro-organisms, hitherto unavailable, can now be determined with the Scanning Electron Microscope. Morphological characteristics related to evolutionary sequences, specific, generic, and familial relationships will permit more natural faunal...

Description
Summary:Extremely fine, detailed morphological characteristics of micro-organisms, hitherto unavailable, can now be determined with the Scanning Electron Microscope. Morphological characteristics related to evolutionary sequences, specific, generic, and familial relationships will permit more natural faunal classifications and enable more accurate ecological and biostratigraphic correlations.
