The Glass Cathedral

one centric diatom, raymarched: a pillbox of silica pierced by rows of pores
Drag to orbit, scroll or pinch to approach. Double-click for a new seed (new rib count, pore rows, dome height). LIT centric diatoms have two overlapping valves (the epitheca over the hypotheca) joined by girdle bands, with radial ribs and pores (areolae). ANALOGY the scale, the inner light and the glass optics are invented: real frustules are 2–200 µm and read best in a microscope.
