An image of the transition from basal bodies to cilia within a portion of one of the oral membranelles of Euplotes. Parasomal sacs occur between the rows of basal bodies although these endocytic ports...

The proximal ends of the basal bodies of a cirrus are embedded in a perforated plate of electron opaque material. Microtubules arise from this opaque material. A secondary fretwork of connections bind...

A high resolution image of portion of an isolated cilium exposing two rows of outer dynein arms arising from subfiber A of each doublet. The heavy chains of the dynein complex are linked to the microt...

A segment of the edge of the axoneme showing the outer axonemal dynein arms that extend from the A-subfiber of a doublet to bind to the B subfiber of the adjacent doublet. TEM taken on 4/21/88 by C. S...

A portion of an isolated cilium exposing two rows of outer dynein arms arising from subfiber A of each doublet. The heavy chains of the dynein complex are linked to the microtubule by stems that can b...

A high resolution image of the transition from basal bodies to cilia within a portion of one of the oral membranelles of Euplotes. Parasomal sacs occur between the rows of basal bodies although these ...

A high resolution image of a longitudinal section of a somatic cilium showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmi...

High resolution image on the multiple membrane systems at the cortex of ciliates. Thickened alveolar densities partially coat the alveolar membrane within the alveoli which underlie the plasma membran...

A longitudinal section of somatic cilia of Coleps showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Adjacent digestive vacuoles and cortical cytoplasm evident with typic...

An individual cirrus of Euplotes with 91 cilia/basal body complexes. The transition from basal body to cilium can be followed from right to left in each row. Small vesicles, many containing electron o...
