Looking through a microscope
Those little glass slides they never lie
How can this small mind cope?
I've never seen anything like it before
This amoeba's got a mind of its own

In that order? By what mechanism?

excellent design; you may have to contact Kota Miura (via www.bioclips.com) who was kind enough to email me a link to download the clip:
