Scanning electron microscopy images for planktonic diatoms from eutrophic Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya

The images and complementary information presented here are related to the article:
Simiyu, B. M. & R. Kurmayer, 2022. Response of planktonic diatoms to eutrophication in Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya. Limnologica 93:125958 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.limno.2022.125958.
The associated data article contains data and information on the identification of common diatoms using screening electron microscopy ( Phillips XL20 SEM). Diatoms presented belong in to six genera (11 species) and include: three chain forming centrics, four single cell centrics, two araphid diatoms originally described from L. Victoria, and one small highly variable preferentially epiphytic Nitzschia species. The method used for sample cleaning and analysis is presented.
