Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) and its application to fossil dinoflagellate cysts

4.b) Application of CLSM to fossil dinoflagellate cysts:

An Example from the Middle Jurassic  Wanaea cornucavata sp. nov. FEIST-BURKHARDT & PROSS 1999

Light microscope images, descending focus series. Specimen in right lateral position, slightly coloured by fuchsine.

CLSM images

	Extended focus image composed of a stack of 70 single optical sections, right lateral face. Thickness of the specimen: 61.5 µm. Distance between single optical sections: 0.88 µm. Computer contrast mode "solid".
	Extended focus image, left lateral face. Specimen rotated 180 ° around the y-axis to see the left lateral face ("solid" mode).
