This scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revealed some of the ultrastructural features observed on the surface of a protozoan Acanthamoeba polyphaga. This particular amoeba exhibited a rather smooth exterior, possibly in the process of encystment, a protective mechanism, which will lead this organism to develop a double-layered thickened cell wall and enter a dormant phase.
