Abstract
Methods of fixing, embedding and sectioning of Amoeba proteus for electron microscopy are described. The fine structure of the various organelles: nucleus, mitochondria, food vacuoles and the contractile vacuole, is discussed in detail. A number of minor unidentified objects has also been found. The functional implications of the structural findings are considered.Keywords
