Abstract

SUMMARYStereo‐pairs of scanning electron micrographs are presented of two species of Staurastrum, one species of Cosmarium and two species of Micrasterias, including the triradiate, diploid variant of M. thomasiana. Techniques for processing these cells are discussed and some typical morphological variations encountered in cultures are illustrated; the methods are reasonably quick and reliable and may prove useful in taxonomic studies of desmids.
