Foraminiferan test (Elphidium sp.), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Foraminifera produce (most commonly) a calciferous test (skeleton) which is divided into chambers. Live forams have filopodia that are united in a complex fashion to produce reticulopodia. Magnification: x96 when shortest axis printed at 25 millimetres.
