Caption:
This scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image revealed an Acanthamoeba polyphaga protozoa, as it was about to complete the process of cell division, known as mitosis, thereby, becoming two distinct organisms. Note the numerous pseudopodia, projecting from the surfaces of these organisms. These pseudopodia enable the amoebae to move about, and grasp objects in their environment.
