High resolution micrograph of cubic membrane array which represents the cell’s method of storing large quantities of lipid and protein bilayers into the smallest possible volume. These membranes can...

The 11 micrographs of the group are views of a serially-sectioned contracted Vorticella convallaria cell that show the main features of this cell. This figure shows 1 food vacuole; micronucleus; contr...

A high resolution view of the Contractile Vacuole Complex. The CV membrane has collapsed into regularly spaced tubules oriented perpendicular to the microtubular ribbon in this ruptured cell. Some tub...

To determine what happens to the CV during systole we observed the CV in a living cell and then fixed the cell as soon as the CV had opened to the outside. It was apparent that the CV membrane does no...

A high resolution micrograph of the Contractile Vacuole Complex membrane system to determine what happens to the CV during systole we observed the CV in a living cell and then fixed the cell as soon a...

High resolution image of the decorated spongiome is composed of 50nm tubules that have a pattern of helically wound subunits attached to their cytosolic surfaces. These tubules can be up to one microm...

The membrane along the collecting canal of ruptured cells shows that the excess smooth spongiome membrane forms a three-dimensional array similar to etiolated chloroplasts when a piece of wood stays o...

Higher magnification view of the spongiome of the Contractile Vacuole Complex. The spongiome is composed of a three dimensional array of tubules that are continuous with the CV membrane. Many tubules ...
