Light micrograph of Paramecium caudatum protozoa, showing food vacuoles containing red-stained yeast cells, which they were fed to show the process by which they ingest and digest their food. The yeast cells were stained with Congo red, a stain indicating low pH values by changing colour to blue. Microscopic contrast method: Differential interference contrast. Magnification: x400 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.
