Amoeba. Normarski image of the large protozoan amoeba,Amoeba proteus. A. proteus is commonly found on the bottom of pools and puddles,and measures 0.2-0.5 millimetres in diameter. Amoebae are unicellular animals. A. proteus is recognised by the numerous pseudopodia (false feet) with which it moves and captures food. The clear circle (top left) is a contractile vacuole that collects excess water from the amoeba and discharges it outside the body. The circular nucleus,which contains the amoeba's genetic information,can just be seen (left of centre) | |
