An Anterior-Posterior Gradient of Refractive Index in the Ameba and Its Significance in Ameboid Movement

Sustained locomotion in Amoeba proteus and Amoeba dubia results in the establishment of a measureable gradient of refractive index along the anterior-posterior axis of the cell, provided thickness of the specimens is kept constant by even compression under a selected coverglass supported by quartz...
