Instructions

Make art using microscopic organisms called diatoms! Use the controls on the side to pick which diatom to use, set their rotation, color, and size, and pick how many axes of symmetry you want. Full screen is best!

Description

Diatoms are types of algae. They're unicellular organisms and have unique shapes and cell walls, which makes them very cool looking! I learned that because they're so beautiful, people make art with them, under a microscope-- this was especially popular during the Victorian era. That inspired me to make a diatom art creator for the Micro SDS. Diatoms all taken from this image: https://i2.wp.com/www.sciengist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Diatoms-microscopy-ukorguk.jpg Music: Cross Stitch by Podington Bear
