Figs. 28-33. <strong>Centropyxis</strong> <strong>aerophila</strong> <strong>aerophila</strong>, selected specimens<br />
identified with the characteristics given by Deflandre (1929), in the<br />
light (28) and scanning electron microscope (29 - 33). Note lack of an<br />
inner pseudostome; thus, the xenosomes of the dorsal shell wall are<br />
recognisable. Test shape varies from broadly elliptical to almost<br />
circular. 28 - ventral view, bright field, length 63 µm; 29, 30 - ventral<br />
views, 80 µm and 75 µm; 31, 32 - ventral view of same specimen at<br />
low and high magnification, length 72 µm. Arrowheads mark inner<br />
margin of ventral pseudostome lip, which extends to near dorsal shell<br />
wall; 33 - lateral view showing shell to be composed of quartz grains,<br />
length 60 µm.
