Hello,
here is video of a Micrasterias truncata in polarized light:

Does anybody here know something about the nature of these little flickering yellow dots inside the plasma?

Hello Houstontx,
thank you for that hint. A google search with "micrasterias" and "strontium sulfat" resulted in this pdf:
http://www.landesmuseum.at/pdf_frei_rem ... 3-0276.pdf
It is in German, but with an English abstract. Herein it is shown by X-ray analysis, that in Micrasterias denticulata these crystals are Bariumsulfat. So I am thinking, that this will be true for Micrasterias truncata, too.
