Lugol preservation
Description:
Skeletonema costatum cells are very small and highly variable in shape. They are connected into chains by external tubes of strutted processes. As long as sibling valves or chains are observed this species can be easily identified. However, in chains where the tubes are very short they may be confused with small Thalassiosira species.
