International audience. We present here a collection of light microscope, and comparative scanning electron microscope, images of extant coccolithophores, sampled from various oceanic locations, and also from cultured strains. This series of images is intended to provide students and researchers interested in extant coccolithophore biology with an accessible means of identifying the common coccolithophore species found in modern assemblages.

International audience. Coccolithophores (Calcihaptophycideae, Haptophyta) are characterised by a heteromorphic life cycle with alternating haploid and diploid generations. Typically, diploid cells produce heterococ...
