The infraciliary lattice in this quick-freeze deep-etched image consists of a meshwork of branching fibers composed of many subfibers. Basal bodies and trichocyst tips extend through the openings of t...

A higher magnification view that shows the bilayer nature of the ciliary membrane, plasma membrane and the outer and inner (alveolar sac membranes of the alveoli. The 9-doublet + 2-singlet microtubula...

Kinetodesmal fibers arise from the proximal ends of the basal bodies and curve upward and to the cell’s right of the kinety. Together with kds arising from more posterior basal bodies they form a st...

This section is cut at a level where the macronucleus is folded so it appears to be in 2 parts and where the micronucleus is visible. Contractile vacuole, perioral kinetids, and the peristome is evide...

Cross sections of striated bands and infraciliary lattice arms. Filaments of the striated bands are less densely packed than the infraciliary lattice. Kinetodesmal fibers and postciliary microtubules ...

Conchophthirus was deciliated by calcium ion shock followed by shearing through a micropipette. This revealed the location of the deciliated basal bodies and the cell's surface architecture. In this i...

A high resolution image of the extensive layer of cortical microtubules which lie under the pellicle and many other microtubules and mitochondria that form a mass in the cytosol. Standard glutaraldehy...

Detail of spongiome of CV. The tubular network is continuous with the filling CV at numerous points. Some spongiome tubules my be decorated with V-ATPases. TEM taken on 3/27/69 by R. Allen with Philip...

The membranelles of the AZM extending from the ventral side of the oral cavity are largely composed of 2 rows of cilia. A dikinetid of the somatic surface is also present. This dikinetid also has pigm...

A tangential section of basal body pair (dikinetid) showing a connecting fiber linking the BBs as well as attachments to a kinetodesmal fiber, to postciliary microtubules, and to transverse microtubu...
