A testate amoeba from a forest fen in Wakefield, Quebec. The specimen was air-dried and imaged in a scanning electron microscope at the Canadian Museum of Nature.
The image shows two features that differentiate Galeripora from its cousin Arcella: 1) an organic coating on the outer ventral surface of the shell, obscuring the hexagonal units out of which it is composed; and 2) small pores encircling the aperture.
