Image of Entamoebidae

Description:

Using a trichrome stain, this photomicrograph depicted a trophozoite of the single-celled parasite, Entamoeba histolytica. Stained purple, the trophozoite, see here in the center of the micrograph, is one of the life cycle phases through which a protozoan organism passes as it matures, and is the active-feeding phase of its growth. The other particulates surrounding the trophozoite represent debris from the slide specimen.
