Oceanographer Paul Hargreaves and artist Faye Darling used an electron microscope to capture this image of a diatom – a tiny single-celled marine algae – that looks exactly like lips.
BillyDalto!!! Can I bring this to your next diatom party?!? Can it also be a taco party?!?
I couldn’t have anticipated this; I’m actually at the point in my life where diatoms come to me. I’m so accustomed to trawling the internet for diatoms pics that this possibility had never occurred to me.

I remember finding a star shaped diatom in my biology lab about 2 years ago. Seeing this has left me mind blown.

This is the one I was remembering. I don’t know why I though “heart diatom” but hey, it was still neat, wasn’t it?
