Proteus amoeba, light micrograph
Proteus amoeba. Differential interference contrast micrograph of an Amoeba proteus protozoan. This freshwater single-celled organism feeds on bacteria and smaller protozoa. It uses pseudopodia (cytoplasmic extensions) to engulf its food and for locomotion. Magnification: x120 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a Proteus amoeba. The image, captured using a light microscope and differential interference contrast technique, reveals the mesmerizing details of this single-celled organism. Set against a vibrant blue background, the amoeba's elongated pseudopodia can be seen extending outwards, serving both as locomotive structures and tools for engulfing its prey. As an inhabitant of freshwater environments, this Amoeba proteus feeds on bacteria and smaller protozoa that share its habitat. Its ability to adapt and thrive in such diverse conditions is truly remarkable. Magnified at 120 times its actual size when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute feature becomes apparent - from the delicate pseudopodium to the unicellular structure. The photograph not only highlights the wonders of nature but also offers insights into biological processes at a microscopic level. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly inconspicuous organisms play vital roles in our ecosystem. This image is perfect for enthusiasts interested in zoology, biology or microbiology; it provides an opportunity to appreciate the intricacy and diversity found within our natural world.
