Amoeba proteus Nucleus (center) and trailing uroid (upper left) of Amoeba proteus. To the right of the nucleus there are several food vacuoles. In addition many tiny crystals are visible. Scale bar indicates 100 µm. The specimen was gathered in a tiny freshwater pond at the island of Hiddensee (Baltic Sea, Germany) which shows a fascinating biodiversity of naked and testate amoebae. Images were taken using Zeiss Standard with Olympus C7070 CCD camera.Image under Creative Commons License V 3.0 (CC BY-NC-SA).

Darg ground illuminated image of an unconstrained cell. Its length is a little over half a millimeter. The cell is popypodial in that many broad rounded pseudopodia form at the same time. The cell is moving to the right. The posterior end of the cell has a rumpled appearance and is the uroid.

A smal collection of cells that are unconstrained and showing the different shapes that the amoebae may take. Stressed cells round up (upper right) and then begin to extend pseudopodia. Active cells are extended often producing many pseudopodia, and with the cells often becoming branched.

Bright field image of a moving amoeba. The cell is polypodial and has a number of rounded pseudopodia extending in the direction of movement (upwards in this image). The posterior end is rumpled and referred to as the uroid.
