Coscinodiscus sp.

An arrangement of three Coscinodiscus sp. from Warri, Southern Nigeria. Prepared by JA Long. Olympus BHB microscope using 450nm LED light. 40x Leitz Pl Apo NA 1.00 objective, oil immersion. Olympus Aplanat Achromat condenser, oil immersion, oblique lighting. 2.5x Nikon CF PL photoeyepiece. Monochrome converted Nikon d850 camera. 35 images stacked in Zerene (Pmax). Couldn’t get close enough to image them with the 63x Leitz Pl Apo objective.

Not sure as to species, so will leave that for now.
