Here's a short study of amoebic locomotion.

A very good video.. Very sharp and clear.. Was this done in phase?..

Nice video.
Kind of hypnotic.

[Radazz]

Yes, Bill, phase contrast.

[billporter1456]

Very nice!

[vasselle]

Very nice

I think this should be called an unidentfied Flabellate amoeba, in stead of palmate.
Or maybe Discosea?
Perhaps Thecamoeba

Ok, it's an amoeba

Certainly flabellate, and a thecamoebid (and therefore also a discosean, since Discosea is the class in which these guys fall). Nice video!
