Figure Lengend Snippet: Unicellular microalgae microscopy. Sequences of phase-contrast microscopy images of CR algae exhibiting ( a ) synchro and ( b ) wobbler-type flagellar motion. The white halo around the cells is typical for phase-contrast microscopy . ( c ) Sketch of a CR cell: the distal striated fiber (DSF) connects the two basal bodies , which anchor the flagella and are connected to the nucleus by nuclear basal-body connectors (NBBCs) ( , ).

Article Snippet: We use high-speed video microscopy (Olympus IX83/IX73) at 500 frames per second with a 40× phase-contrast objective (Olympus, 0.65 NA, Plan N, PH2) connected to a metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera (Phantom Miro C110, Vision Research, pixel size = 5.6 μ m ) for imaging the mid-plane between the confining glass plates.
