Lepidoderma Carestianum — Microscopic Studies
Lepidoderma Carestianum — Microscopic Studies
Lepidoderma Carestianum — Microscopic Studies is an early twentieth-century scientific plate examining slime mould specimens through a combination of enlarged fruiting bodies, spores, filaments, and microscopic structures. Two related studies are arranged vertically against a warm cream ground.
The upper plate presents Lepidoderma carestianum Rost., with densely textured rounded forms accompanied by smaller cellular studies. Below, Lepidoderma carestianum var. chailletii Lister appears in clustered and isolated forms alongside spores and a striking network of fine elongated filaments. Magnification markings from ×4 to ×600 reinforce the scientific character of this intricate historical study.
