• Optical properties of single diatom frustules revealed by confocal microspectroscopy 

      Romann, Julien Clement; Valmalette, Jean-Christophe; Røyset, Arne Karstein; Einarsrud, Mari-Ann (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Optical properties of single diatom frustule valves from two different Coscinodiscus species (C. wailesii and C. centralis) are studied by transmission confocal hyperspectral imaging and numerical calculations. Light ...

      Romann, Julien Clement; Valmalette, Jean-Christophe; Chauton, Matilde Skogen; Tranell, Gabriella; Einarsrud, Mari-Ann; Vadstein, Olav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      The ecological success of diatoms is emphasized by regular blooms of many different species in all aquatic systems, but the reason behind their success is not fully understood. A special feature of the diatom cell is ...
