Netzelia corona - a pretty testate amoeba
Netzelia corona - a pretty testate amoeba
Hello,
Yesterday I found this Netzelia corona (former Difflugia corona), size 195 µm. Joseph Leidy considered it "the most remarkable and beautiful species of the genus" .
Here are two aspects:

Amazing! But how did you you do these photos? Is this just the shell, or is the amoeba still alive? (please forgive my ignorance)

Hello,
glad you like the photos.
@sdani the shell was empty and the pseudostom and some of the spines a bit damaged.
For this kind of thick globular objects I use slides with concave depression. Items don't crush so easily and sometimes you are able to turn them. The photos are stacks of about 20 frames.
