Caption:
This photomicrograph of a trichrome-stained specimen, revealed the presence of a mononucleated, Entamoeba hartmanni cyst (arrow). E. hartmanni cysts are similar to those of E. histolytica, but smaller, measuring 5µm - 10µm. Mature cysts contain four nuclei that possess a small, discrete, centrally located karyosome, and evenly distributed peripheral chromatin. Cysts may not be visible in unstained specimens. The cytoplasm in mature cysts may contain diffuse glycogen, and rounded or elongated chromatoid bodies with rounded ends.
