Title: Observing amoeba with light microscope.
Introduction:
Amoeba is a eukaryotic unicellular phagocytic organism that belongs to the Protista kingdom. Being an eukaryote, amoeba has various membrane bounded organelles, including nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosome and vacuoles. An amoeba moves and intakes food by protruding pseudopods, which is possible thanks to the great plasticity of form and cytoplasmic streaming. Some amoebae become dormant by forming into a ball and secreting a protective membrane to become a microbial cyst in environments that are potentially lethal, or take the flagellated form in order to move around faster.
Light microscope is a type of microscope that uses visible light and a set of lenses to magnify the image of the preparat so it may become visible to the human eyes. A light microscope can be divided to several parts: Ocular lens, objective lens, stage, diaphragm, adjustment knobs (fine and coarse), light source, revolving nosepiece, and body parts such as arm or base.
