Scanning Electron Microscopic study on few Diatoms from KRP Dam, Tamil Nadu- India
Journal Title: Journal of Research in Biology - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
A study was carried out to examine the morphology of diatom species in Krishnagiri Reservoir, Tamil Nadu. The sediment samples were collected and transferred immediately in to zip lock bags to avoid the oxidation. Then the samples were stored at 5ºC in an ice box and carefully transferred to the laboratory. The sediment sample was treated with acid wash before detailed observation under the light and electron microscopes. All samples were identified up to species level based on Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) observations. The SEM photographs provided fine morphological features of the species for easy identification. Qualitative aspects of the differences between LM (Light Microscope) and SEM approaches are discussed in the text
