Dictydium and Licea — Microscopic Studies
Dictydium and Licea — Microscopic Studies
Dictydium and Licea — Microscopic Studies is an early twentieth-century scientific plate exploring the intricate forms of slime moulds. Delicate spherical networks rise on slender stalks in the upper study, while darker specimens and microscopic structures occupy the lower half of the composition.
The upper figures document Dictydium cancellatum Macbride through multiple views, spores, and magnified structures. Below are studies of Licea flexuosa Pers. and L. minima Fries, accompanied by enlarged spores and cellular details. Fine black and gray linework against warm cream paper gives the plate a restrained graphic character while preserving its scientific purpose.
