Diatoms from Neuse River
Caption:
These Diatoms were found in a water sample taken from the Neuse River in North Carolina. When present, Diatoms--silicon-encased algae—indicate good water quality. The water sample was taken as part of an on-going study of the Neuse to determine how pollutants are being transferred into the river.
