Caption:
This digitally-colorized scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image depicted the dorsal (upper) surface of a Giardia protozoan that had been isolated from a rat’s intestine. Some of the identifying morphologic characteristics include pairs of thread-like flagella that facilitate motility, and a ventrolateral flange that appears as a “ruffle” around the anterior portion of the organism. The flagella seen here, were arranged in an anterior, posterior-lateral, and caudal pairing.
