A high magnification view of the tubulated CV membrane attached to ampullae 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the CVC. The tubules lie against the ribbon of microtubules as well as form a large mat lying inward (centr...

The contractile vacuole of V. convallaria empties into a convoluted chamber. This chamber is covered by the alveoli and plasma membrane of the pellicle and is open to the cell’s surface via the peri...

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 ...

Radial arm of the contractile vacuole complex displaying two rows of openings from the smooth spongiome into the collecting canal. Two microtubules separate the two rows of openings. The smooth spongi...

Cross section through a radial arm of the contractile vacuole complex. The collecting canal occupies the center of the arm whose membrane is supported by the radial microtubular ribbon which has now d...

The contractile vacuole pore is supported on its cytosolic side by a coil of microtubules and other microtubules extend from the pore to the CV membrane. The plasma membrane and CV membrane cover the ...

TIRF time-lapse imaging of EB1-GFP (green) and mCherry-tubulin (red). EB1-GFP is seen on microtubule tips that grow to the cortex but does not accumulate on stable microtubule bundles at the equator, ...

High resolution image of the cross section through a radial arm of the contractile vacuole complex. The collecting canal occupies the center of the arm whose membrane is supported by the radial microt...
