A cross section showing only one basal body in two different dikinetids. Cross sections of overlapping microtubular ribbons arising from the dikinetids are seen in the ridges next to the basal body. P...

A high resolution tangential view through a dikinetid shows two microtubular ribbons extending toward the pellicle, one from each basal body, and how they overlap with ribbons from other basal bodies ...

A high resolution image Didinium. This ciliate 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 ciliat...

Figure 322 from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Cilia and flagella usually occur on motile cells or on the free surfaces of epithelia. However, a solitary cilium i...

This image 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 distal to the cartw...

A tangential view through a dikinetid shows two microtubular ribbons extending toward the pellicle, one from each basal body, and how they overlap with ribbons from other basal bodies under the pellic...

An image of a cell actively undergoing endocytosis that develops an extensive layer of vesicles and cisternae composed for the most part of smooth undecorated membrane. The uncoated cisternae are earl...

A high resolution micrograph of the monokinetids (single somatic basal bodies) of Coleps hirtus bear an anteriorly directed striated fibrous kinetodesmal fiber and a posteriorly directed ribbon of pos...

This EM features the striated bands that link the membranes under the surface depressions of the cortex. The bands insert into the epiplasm, and in this case, they separate to pass around the parasoma...

A high resolution of an oblique section of the Coleps contractile vacuole pore revealing the supporting microtubules and adjacent fibrous layer. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmium tet...
