Amoeba test

#1 Post by TonyT » Tue Apr 06, 2021 4:23 pm

From my recent FW sample, found dead. Looks like the remains of the Amoeba inside. Photographed with the ventral opening uppermost.
Seems the test was made of sand grains.
left: 40x +1.25x + 2.5x transmitted light
right: 20x +1.25x + 2.5x polarized light; I could not enough light to use the 40x.
