Abstract
This report documents the techniques that we use to clean and concentrate chrysomonad cysts prior to examining them under a scanning electron microscope. Like diatoms, chrysomonad cysts are composed of opaline silica; the method we use is basically the same as one of the methods commonly used to prepare diatoms.
