Microscopy at sea is not easy or fun, but someone has to do it. Here, Joan is picking individual foraminifera for ATP extraction, to determine biomass, as part of a large MMS-funded project to study the deep Gulf of Mexico benthos. See the special issue of Deep-Sea Research II dedicated to this DGoMB project (edited by Gil Rowe), to be published in 2006. (S. De Beukelaer).
