Description:
This cell has been slightly compressed, the curving structure upper right is the base of the undulating membrane, showing its path from near the front of the cell to end by curving around the cytosome - the point at which food is ingested. The lines over the surface of the body are where the kineties (rows of cilia) lie. Differential interference contrast optics.
