Portrait of Raphidiophrys, a centroheliozoon with siliceous scales but no radiating spicules. Axopodia bearing extrusomes are evident. The abundant scales obscure the details of the cell body in this image. Sometimes multiple individuals cluster. From fresh water pond near Boise, Idaho. Phase contrast.

Raphidiophrys elegans can be found either grouped in colonies or as solitary living individuals. In colonies, the disc-shaped spicules form elongate cone-shaped accumulations around the pseudopodia. In solitary living individuals the spicules are arranged more tangentially. The spherical nucleus is placed eccentrically. Usually with one contractile vacuole. Symbiotic algae are sometimes present. Differential interference contrast.

A squashed specimen of Raphidiophrys elegans. At about 12:00 the contractile vacuole is visible and the sphaerical nucleus is at 3:00. The spicules are lie tangientially and not cone-shaped around the pseudopodia. From a bog pond near Konstanz, Germany. Differential interference contrast.
