Dear diatomists,

In many papers I've read about number of areolae in the valve center of Centric diatoms, but I could not understand how to correctly measure them. On the attached image you see two line segments: red and green. Let's assume that they both 10 mkm long. Which one should I use to count number of areolae in the center of diatom valve - red or green?
