Wet mount of 2 amoeboids fixed with formalin and stained with Malachite Green.
A rather deep mount, in water, with the top amoeboid closer to coverglass than bottom amoeboid.
Note how the inner granular cytoplasm stained but the outer hyaline cytoplasm (hyaloplasm) remained unstained.
Scale is a micrometer slide photographed with same setup.
40x S Plan Achro + 1.25x intermediate lens + 2.5x relay lens; DIC, full single frame.

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

Another pet shop formulation. This one is likely to be very efficacious, contains 11.52% formalin as well as Malachite Green. One minute drop of this stuff in a drop of pond water on a slide stops everything dead in their tracks
