Amoeba Ameba 3047

[microplan]

Amoeba.
Found in a sample taken from a large puddle in the forest.
Some amoebas are very lazy. It moved with astonishing speed.
I filmed the amoeba at 25fps and I think it's played back at that speed now.
I don't remember what lenses I used, but I think they were 25x and 40x.
The video is quite long, over 4 minutes long, but I can watch the moving amoeba without getting bored.
There is something magical in the way they move internal particles as they move.
It seems chaotic, but there must be some order in it.

Amoebas are still my favorite life specimens! They're so mysterious and different...
