Diatoms. The cell walls of diatoms are made of silica formed into their characteristic pillbox shape. Diatoms are composed of two valves or frustules, one on top of the other, within which the living matter of the diatom is found.
Diatoms are unusual in that as single celled algae they possess cell wals impregnated with silica-effectively the cell walls are made of glass. The cells are made of two halves, frustules held together by a kind of belt, called a girdle.iatom Circle slide. Such slides were especially popular in the 19th century as exhibition pieces to show of both the beauty of the diatoms and also the prowess of the slide maker. It has been said that the ideal tool for arranging diatoms is a tiger's whisker.
