Four centrioles imaged in one electron micrograph of a thin section, cut from a Chinese hamster fibroblast grown in tissue culture. The two centrioles that appear circular are the 'mother' centrioles,...

A high resolution image of a tangential section through the cell’s surface show the pairs of basal bodies in cross section. The ends of kinetodesmal fibers point anteriorly in the cell, the postcili...

High resolution image of microtubules that sometimes extend deep into the cytosol from the basal bodies. They serve to guide the trichocysts to their docking sites at the plasma membrane (see Plattner...

Modified basal bodies, composed of a circle of 9 single microtubules, occur along the length of the stalk and these basal bodies lie against the alveolar-bearing side of the stalk. Fibers pass into th...

A transverse section of the cortex of Conchophthirus curtus reveals details of cortical structure. This includes the nature of the cell membrane and the alveolar membranes that reside immediately belo...

Vestibular kinities and the cortical architecture adjacent to the oral apparatus of Conchophthirus curtus. The negative magnification is 15,500X. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750...

A tangential section through the cell’s surface show the pairs of basal bodies in cross section. The ends of kinetodesmal fibers point anteriorly in the cell, the postciliary ribbons arise from the ...

A glancing view of the cortex of Conchophthirus reveals details of cortical structure. This includes the nature of the cell membrane and the alveolar membranes that reside immediately below the surfac...

A high resolution image of the undulating membrane showing that it is composed of two rows of basal bodies but only the outer row is ciliated. Both basal bodies are fully formed but only the ciliated ...
