A freeze-fractured view of the nuclear envelope. The fracture in the middle of the figure exposes the cytosolic facing membrane. This can be distinguished by a fractured cytoplasmic organelle at the t...

Didinium ingests Paramecium. Also showing a few discharged trichocysts and metachronous waves of cilia in the two characteristic ciliary girdles of Didinium nasutum. This micrograph was taken in 1968 ...

The proboscis of Didinium. While not well preserved, this image clearly shows the clockwise surface ridges that are elevated by ribbons of microtubules that are involved in supporting the buccal cavit...

Didinium captures Paramecium. A moment after initial contact when toxicysts enter Paramecium. The strand of toxicysts can be seen between the two organisms, and Didinium will use the anchored toxicyst...

Didinium captures Paramecium. It is not unusual for an undersized Didinium to attempt to ingest a much larger Paramecium. In this case, the organisms were preserved before the outcome could be determi...

Freeze fracture images of synaptic junctions in the retina of Macaca mulatta. The electron micrograph in the top panel shows two invaginating synapses between cone and horizontal cells in the outer p...

The image shows a portion of a slice through a 3D tomographic reconstruction of a mouse adenocarcinoma cell based on x-ray microscopy. Live cells were cryofixed by plunge freezing in liquid ethane an...

Ancistrum is a marine ciliate that inhabits the mantle cavity of mytiliid mussels. This image shows a good view of the macronucleus, mitochondria with tubular cristae, and what are probably flask-shap...

Spinning disk confocal time-lapse imaging of the first mitosis in a C. elegans embryo expressing GFP-KNL-2 (strain OD31) in which KNL-1 has been depleted by RNAi. Discrete foci of GFP signal within th...

A view of the endosymbiotic Chlorella of a green Trichodina that lives on the surface of a freshwater snail collected in central Illinois. In this image there is also an endosymbiotic bacterium. It ha...
