A high resolution micrograph of the proximal ends of the basal bodies of a cirrus of Euplotes. the basal bodies are embedded in a perforated plate of electron opaque material. Microtubules arise from ...

Longitudinal section through the buccal cavity of the oral region showing portions of 3 membranelles (1, 2 and 3): each membranelle consists of 3 rows of cilia. The oral ribs are seen on the right sid...

High resolution view of an oblique section shows the transverse aspect of basal bodies/cilia within one pectinelle of one of the two ciliary girdles of Didinium. Two ribbons of microtubules and a shor...

The locomotor cortex of Didinium. A longitudinal section of basal bodies and the axonemes of cilia is revealed as they emerge from the cell cortex of Didinium. Bundles of microtubules extend from the ...

A high resolution image Didinium. This ciliate has two bands of ciliated basal bodies that encircle the cell, one adorally and one aborally. The bands are composed of groups of approximately 15 ciliat...

The cilia of a membranelle of the AZM (adoral zone of membranelles) have well defined doublets, singlets and dynein arms as well as spokes. Euplotes has a plasma membrane which covers a very flat and ...
