Slide trap science
The microbes at Lo'ihi extrude iron oxide filaments that accumulate to form mats. Microbes that grow on the slides will extrude their filaments on the slide so it becomes possible to disentagle the types of filaments that make the mats. The shape of the filament may be characteristic of the species of microbe. Some of these slides have been down at Lo'ihi for a year.
