Enhanced Light Absorption by Horizontally Oriented Diatom Colonies

Enhanced Light Absorption by Horizontally Oriented Diatom Colonies

Through in situ holographic imaging of undisturbed water, diatom colonies with high aspect ratios have been found to exhibit preferential horizontal orientation within high biomass subsurface layers. We analyzed holographic video to determine the abundance, size, and orientation of colonies over sev...
