Leptophrys spec., 95 µm, characteristic locomotion

Here the cell moves both to the right and to the left, getting longer and longer, but eventually the right side dominates and the opposite side is pulled out.

Expanded form, body about 160 µm; note the anchor points where hyaloplasm is attached to the slide.

Small specimen; the white arrow shows the direction of locomotion, the black arrow points to an anchor point.

The same specimen as above. The arrow shows the direction of locomotion.

Note the small granules at the edge of hyaloplasm and body.

Detail: cytoplasmic granules, possibly a kind of membranosomes as in Vampyrella.
