Didinium (non-dividing) has a massive cytopharynx at its anterior end that takes the shape of a cone-shaped proboscis when closed. This cytopharynx contains numerous lamellae composed of sets of micro...

High resolution image of the b-tubulin immunogold labeled microtubules that arise from the apex of the cytoproct ridge and pass to the spent DV membrane. Trichocyst and trichocyst tip included in this...

A glancing view of the cortex of Conchophthirus reveals details of cortical structure. This includes the nature of the cell membrane and the alveolar membranes that reside immediately below the surfac...

Didinium nasutum. A tangential view of the surface of a non-dividing cell shows several ribbons of microtubules between the alveolar sac and the epiplasm. The thick fibrous layer associated with the e...

Kinetodesmal fibers arise from the proximal ends of the basal bodies and curve upward and to the cell’s right of the kinety. Together with kds arising from more posterior basal bodies they form a st...

A glancing view of the thigmotactic ciliature of Conchophthirus reveals details of cortical structure. CIL:39231 is a near serial section. Both exhibit the characteristic zig-zag kinetal arrangement o...
