Where can I buy some Radiolaria?

Post by Robert Berdan »

I recently purchased a Radiolarian slide from a shop (which I won't mention) and most if not all the Radiolarians were damaged and I can't take a single photograph that doesn't have broken Radiolaria.

I am looking for some good prepared slides, reasonably priced or alternatively a tube of Radiolaria in solution that I can use to make prepared slides.

If you could let me know where I might find this or include some links I would be greatful.

Thank you.

Dear Robert,

Years ago, I have cleaned Radiolarians from Barbados (from marl clay)
I can send you a portion in diluted alcohol.


Kind Regards

I have been using a Radiolarian strew slide from Ward's Scientific that has a very nice selection.

Hi Robert,

Don't forget to check out Krantz in Germany, they have good quality and large variety, e.g.:
https://www.krantz-online.de/en/online- ... laria.html

I think it's far more economic, easier to process and interesting to buy them cleaned and dried (for strewing).

Good luck & please post the photos.

Walter

Thanks Walter I will check them out. I had one fellow contact me from Germany and I purchased some RAW Radiolarian samples from him - sill waiting for them probably won't arrive until January.

I also ordered some RAW Diatoms samples from Netherlands, and a couple of prepared microscope slides from Klaus Kemp.

I am going to make some prepared slides and would like to try some simple arrangements with a used micromanipulator I purchased off E-bay.

Thank you for he link I will check them out.
Best wishes
Rob Berdan
