Abstract
A preliminary study on the ultrastructure of Middle Permian AcritarchMicrhystridium from western Yunnan has been made using laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). Some quite new features about the texture and ultrastructure of this kind of Acritarch has been detected for the first time, which opens up a new application of this advanced technique to microfossil study.
