Physarum polycephalum

Image of Slime mold

Description:

[69x] In this image you can see that the sporangium has split open.  The electron microscope operates under high vacuum and really dries specimens out.  This drying probably broke open the sac.  Note the white spots on the sporangium and the fibers of the paper towel in the background.
