encystment
Description:
Transmission electron micrograph of a thin section through the surface of an encysting cell. The encystment process has just started - as can be seen from the sintered appearance of the siliceous scales. There is a layer of mucus outside the cell, extrusomes under the cell surface, and many mitochondria below the siliceous scales.
