Paramoeba (para-me-ba) one of the naked amoebae. The pseudopodia are conical, but may be short or long. They arise from the hyaline zone. The pseudopodia project to the front, the smooth area at the back of the cell is the uroid. They eat bacteria, algae, detritus. There is a paranuclear body located alongside the nucleus, it is the sqare-ish granular structure above the nucleus with its more homogeneous nucleolus. Differential interference contrast.

The pseudopodia project to the front, the smooth area at the back of the cell is the uroid. They eat bacteria, algae, detritus. There is a paranuclear body located alongside the nucleus, it is the granular structure below and to the left of the nucleus with its more homogeneous nucleolus. Differential interference contrast.

The pseudopodia project to the front, the smooth area at the back of the cell is the uroid. They eat bacteria, algae, detritus. Several cells to show the variation in this species. Phase contrast.

Paramoeba (para-me-ba) one of the naked amoebae. The pseudopodia are conical, but may be short or long. This is a picture of the rayed form the cell in which the pseudopodia are long. They arise from the hyaline zone. The pseudopodia project to the front, the smooth area at the back of the cell is the uroid. They eat bacteria, algae, detritus. There is a paranuclear body located alongside the nucleus, but not visible here. Phase contrast.
