Description:
Microchlamys (mike-row-clam-iss) is a testate amoeba, but one with a flexible shell or lorica. As can be seen in this image, the cell is deformed by pushing against an object in the real world, and the shell itself is folded. The amoeba inside produces lobose pseudopodia. Phase contrast.
