Description
Coloured scanning electron micrograph (TEM) of Euglena gracilis cell pellicle (blue) and internal cytoplasmic organelles: chloroplasts (green), golgi apparatus (pink), mitochondria (purple), lipid bodies (orange), pyrenoid bodies (yellow), ribosomes (olive green), gullet (light blue), flagellum (light orange in gullet). Euglena gracilis is a fresh water flagellated protozoan often classified in a group called euglenoids. Euglena spp. normally contain chloroplasts but in prolonged darkness they become heterotrophic and engulf other small organisms. Magnification: x1,835 when shortest axis printed at 25 millimetres.
