Sectioning of radiolarians under continuous observation

A new method to study the internal structure of fossil radiolarians in presented. The core of the method is (1) freezing the radiolarian in a drop of water using a Peltier module and (2) slicing the radiolarian with a specially equipped electric tooth-brush under an optical microscope. With this met...

description A new method to study the internal structure of fossil radiolarians in presented. The core of the method is (1) freezing the radiolarian in a drop of water using a Peltier module and (2) slicing the radiolarian with a specially equipped electric tooth-brush under an optical microscope. With this method the internal structure of diagenetically altered radiolarians can be studied even if internal sediment cannot be removed.Eine neue Methode zur Analyse der Internstrukturen von Radiolarien wird vorgestellt. Die Methode beinhaltet (1) Einfrieren einzelner Radiolarien in einem Wassertropfen mit Hilfe eine Peltier-Elements und (2) Schleifen der Radiolarien mit Hilfe eine modifizierten elektrischen Zahnbürste unter einem Binokular. Mit dieser Methode ist es möglich Internstrukturen von Radiolarien zu untersuchen, selbst wenn diese diagenetisch verändert sind oder fest verbackenes Internsediment aufweisen.doi:10.1002/mmng.20020050104
