It was a picture of spirogyra, a single cell organism, taken through a microscope. |
|
This is Anton van Leeuwenhoek writing from Holland to the Royal Society in 1674, giving the first account of spirogyra, among other organisms. |
|
Entomologists also noted a strong larval association with spirogyra algae. |
|
The various green algal populations were identified species of Scenedesmus, Pithophora, Chlorella, Chlorococcum and Spirogyra. |
|
Freshwater filtration applications are useful, too, and will commonly grow species such as Spirogyra. |
