Amoeba protozoan, light micrograph C016 / 8578
Amoeba protozoan. Phase-contrast light micrograph of an Amoeba sp. protozoan, showing its numerous pseudopodia (cytoplasmic extensions, leg-like). This freshwater single-celled organism feeds on bacteria and smaller protozoa. It uses its pseudopodia to engulf food and for locomotion. Magnification: x 330, when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of an Amoeba protozoan. The image, captured using a light microscope, reveals the mesmerizing details of this single-celled organism. The Amoeba sp. is seen extending numerous pseudopodia, which resemble leg-like projections made of cytoplasm. Found in freshwater environments, this fascinating creature survives by feeding on bacteria and smaller protozoa. Its pseudopodia play a crucial role in both locomotion and capturing prey. By engulfing food through these extensions, the amoeba ensures its survival in its microscopic world. At a magnification of x 330, when printed at just 10 centimeters wide, this photo allows us to appreciate the complexity and diversity present within nature's smallest inhabitants. It serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies or surrounding ecosystems, countless microorganisms like amoebas contribute to the delicate balance of life. Frank Fox's skillful photography captures not only the scientific significance but also the aesthetic allure of this amoeba microbe. With its vibrant colors and intricate structures visible under phase-contrast lighting, it offers viewers a glimpse into an unseen realm teeming with life. This remarkable image invites contemplation about our interconnectedness with all living organisms on Earth while showcasing nature's incredible diversity at its most microscopic level.
