Nuclearia simplex catches Goniomonas truncata, a cryptomonad.
Three slides, two images, the second image has a marked version.
First: | Cryptomonad cell ist approaching. |
Second: | Two Nuclearia cells in the final phase of binary fission, the Cyrptomonad sticks to an axopod of a Nuclearia cell. |
Third: | Annotated version of the previous image. Nucleus (arrow), remnants of the junction of cells after division (arrowhead), contractile vacuoles (double arrowhead), prey (double headed arrow). |
