I have been looking at white blood cells under a phase-contrast                
microscope. Some of them contained a number of tiny particles 
that were jiggling busily about inside the cytoplasm. I dont
think they were larger than 1 micrometer in size. Could the 
particles be freshly ingested bacteria still struggling to get
out? (The WBCs were from an infected skin pore... err... pimple.)
