Protists are any member of a group of diverse eukaryotic unicellular microscopic organisms. Protist typically refers to a eukaryote that is not a true animal, plant or fungus because it lacks a multicellular stage.
In order to view protists, a biological microscope is required with 400x magnification.
The image below of a protist was captured using a sample of pond water under the Zeiss Primostar HD digital microscope.
