An image of the transition from basal bodies to cilia within a portion of one of the oral membranelles of Euplotes. Parasomal sacs occur between the rows of basal bodies although these endocytic ports...

An image of cilia and cytopharyngeal vesicles containing a flocculent content of unknown composition which lie next to the cytopharynx and between the buccal cavity and what may be the nascent food v...

A high resolution cross section of a Coleps cilium showing the axoneme consisting of 9 doublet and 2 central microtubules. Doublets have a complete A subfiber and an attached B subfiber. Two dynein ar...

Longitudinal section of somatic cilium showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in alc...

Longitudinal section of four kinetal rows of Coleps showing transverse sections of cilia and basal bodies. Parasomal sacs/clathrin coated pits penetrate through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm ...

Nassula sp. Transmission electron micrograph of rows of cross-sectioned basal bodies at the cell surface. TEM taken on 3/4/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 operating at 60kV. Neg. 16,000X. Bar = 0.5µm...

A high resolution image of a longitudinal section of a somatic cilium showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmi...

Cirri arise from the ventral side and the adoral zone of membranelles circle the anterior end of the cell and curve ventrally along one side of the oral cavity. The AZM is composed of triplet rows of ...

A view of the AZM with basal bodies in longitudinal section and cilia sectioned lengthwise. Bunches of microtubules reside below the basal bodies and lie close to the cytopharyngeal vesicles. TEM take...
