Figure 5

Extremely early stage in T. pseudonana valve formation. Images are in valve plane. Left are images from successive (left to right, up to down) sections (20 nm average depth) indicating convoluted rib structure initially associated with the girdle band region in the lower left corner of the cell. Right is a 3D reconstruction confirming the association of the newly forming valve with the girdle band region, and the extended ribs.
