A high resolution view of a median longitudinal section through this collecting canal that may be artificially swollen at two sites where it is encircled by structural microtubules. Smooth spongiome ...

High resolution image of immunogold labeled microtubules next to the cytoproct radiate from basal bodies and also from the tip of the cytoproct. These microtubules lie along the approaching spent DV. ...

A micrograph of Tetrahymena showing a transverse ribbon starting from the anterior right side of the proximal end of a basal body (out of section plane) and crossing under the pellicle to end under th...

A high resolution micrograph of the locomotor cortex of Didinium. A longitudinal section reveals the basal bodies and the axonemes of cilia as they emerge from the cell cortex of Didinium. Bundles of ...

A high resolution view of cross-sectioned rows of basal bodies at the cortex of Nassula. Only a few basal bodies may have attached cilia as seen by the few cilia present in the upper right row. Basal ...

The monokinetids (single somatic basal bodies) of Coleps hirtus bear an anteriorly directed striated fibrous kinetodesmal fiber and a posteriorly directed ribbon of postciliary microtubules that arise...

Quadrulus membranelle (4 rows of cilia) in the buccal cavity of Paramecium tetraurelia. Microtubules of the axonemes of the cilia and the triplet fibers of the basal bodies are labeled. Ribbons of mic...

Bundles of microtubules arise from along the elaborately woven blanket of the filamentous reticulum that covers the ribbed wall of the right side of the buccal cavity. A bundle forms beneath the botto...

b-tubulin immunogold labeled microtubules arise from the apex of the cytoproct ridge and pass to the spent DV membrane. Trichocyst and trichocyst tip included in this image. TEM taken on 7/5/96 by R. ...

A median longitudinal section through this collecting canal that may be artificially swollen at two sites where it is encircled by structural microtubules. Smooth spongiome forms a mesh around the co...
