A high resolution image of a dikinetid in cross section near its proximal end. A postciliary ribbon and a transverse ribbon are seen. A short kinetodesmal fiber buds from the side of the kinetid. Coat...

Didinium has two bands of ciliated basal bodies that encircle the cell, one adorally and one aborally. The bands are composed of groups of approximately 15 ciliated basal bodies. This section is a lon...

Paramecium multimicronucleatum is covered with cilia which cilia arise from regular surface depressions roughly rectangular in shape. This image is adapted with permission from Fig. 1 in J. Cell Biol....

A high resolution image that shows a dikinetid which is set in a shallow basin in the cell surface. The pair of basal bodies have a proximal cartwheel and a dense septum (not found in most bbs) just d...

An image image of the multiple membrane systems at the cortex of ciliates. Thickened alveolar densities partially coat the alveolar membrane within the alveoli which underlie the plasma membrane of ci...

Figs. 314 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12 (Centrioles). At the base of the flagellum of a mammalian spermatid, the juxtanuclear proximal centriole is continuous (at the arrow) with a structure of simila...

Abstracted from an image by Simionescu and Simionescu in The Journal of Cell Biology (70:608-621), ©1976, The Rockefeller University Press. This image was reprinted as Figure 319 from Chapter 13 (Cil...

This high resolution micrograph of Paramecium multimicronucleatum is adapted with permission from Fig. 1 in J. Cell Biol. 49:1-20, 1971. Paramecium is covered with cilia which arise from regular surfa...

An image of a dikinetid in cross section near its proximal end. A postciliary ribbon and a transverse ribbon are seen. A short kinetodesmal fiber buds from the side of the kinetid. Coated vesicles or ...

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...
