SIMS images of stable isotopes measured within phytoplankton. 12C14N− (counts per pixel) (a,d,g,j), 13C:12C (dimensionless) (b,e,h,k), and 15N:14N (dimensionless) (c,f,i,l) measured within Chaetoceros spp. >8 µm; scale bar 20 μm (a–f) and Tripos/Ceratium spp. scale bar 50 μm (g–l). Cells were incubated with 13C bicarbonate and 15N nitrate (a–c,g–i) or 13C-bicarbonate and 15N ammonium (d–f,j–l).
