Figure 316 from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. The differences in size and shape of cilia and microvilli are well illustrated by scanning micrographs of the lumen...

A figure from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. The microtubules of the axoneme are adequately preserved by routine fixation for electron microscopy of thin sections...

Cross fracture of cilia of the quadrulus. The basal body/cilium complexes are a little less tightly packed than in the peniculus. There are four or five rows of parasomal sacs interspersed with basal...

The tubular cristae of mitochondria bear a pair of protrusions when seen in cross section. These are the F1 subunits of F1F0 ATP synthase enzymes which play a role in producing ATP, the cell’s main ...

a high resolution longitudinal section of four kinetal rows of Coleps showing transverse sections of cilia and basal bodies. Parasomal sacs/clathrin coated pits penetrate through the plasma membrane i...

A high resolution image of a layer of mucocysts docked under the pellicle. The pellicle has a plasma membrane and an alveolar sac system. Both basal bodies of a dikinetid are ciliated, and the food va...

Cirri arise from the ventral side and the adoral zone of membranelles circle the anterior end of the cell and curve ventrally along one side of the oral cavity. The AZM is composed of triplet rows of ...

Conchophthirus was deciliated by calcium ion shock followed by shearing through a micropipette. This revealed the location of the deciliated basal bodies and the cell's surface architecture. In this i...

A layer of mucocysts is docked under the pellicle. The pellicle has a plasma membrane and an alveolar sac system. Both basal bodies of a dikinetid are ciliated, and the food vacuoles are plentiful and...

A view of the left side of Conchophthirus curtus deciliated by a calcium shock method to reveal the organization of the ciliature of this densely ciliated organism. In particular this method reveals t...
