There are some tiny things moving in the background, what are these?

[EDFWilliams]

Bacteria. Many different kinds.

[rookandpawn]

so what are all the things inside the amoeba? is that food the amoeba has hunted down still inside the amoeba?

[EDFWilliams]

There are several food vacuoles --places where the amoeba digests engulfed food particles. There is a prominent nucleus (dark with light surround)where the cells DNA resides. There are many very small particles that might be mitochondria although it's impossile to tell with a light microscope.

[BirdWhisperer46]

Is there any chance you know the species name of this amoeba? I have found one very similar, but I do not know enough to tell if it is Mayorella Bigemma or Proteus. Or, something else entirely.

[Shadowstormist]

This is so amazing i love it

[EDFWilliams]

I think you mean: "You're all 'weirdos'."

But are you addressing the amoebae, or the people who study them? (And there is no need to shout.)

[AFloridian]

It's nice to share my body with those lil fellas.
