Diatoms : What Are They?
Algae are often only perceived as an annoying algae bloom or slime on stones, but they are one of the most ecologically important organisms on Earth. Diatoms are the most abundant microscopic algae that produce one-fifth of the oxygen we breathe and have beautiful cell walls made of glass (SiO2). Under the microscope, you can marvel at diatoms from all over the world (including Dresden), create your own diatom window art, and learn interesting facts about their role in nature and technology.
