Paramecium protozoa. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of three Paramecium sp. protozoa. These single-celled organisms are aquatic, being found in freshwater habitats. They are covered in cilia, short hair-like structures used for swimming and for wafting food into the groove- like \mouth\" (for example, upper right) on each cell. Magnification: x247 at 6x7cm size."
