Holosticha ciliate protozoan. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Holosticha sp. ciliate protozoan ingesting diatoms (brown). Holosticha is a tiny single-celled aquatic organism. Food is filtered through membranelles in its primitive mouth,known as a buccal cavity (dark purple). The membranelles,rows of fused cilia (short microscopic hairs),are also used for locomotion.
