In a drop of pond water live glassy jewels too small to see. Charles Boyer surveys the diatoms of the Philadelphia region, describing their delicate silica shells, their cell division, and their curious ability to move. A meticulous guide to the microscopic algae that carpet fresh water. Peer through the lens at the pond's tiniest architects.
