The micronuclear separation spindle. Nuclear pores are not empty perforations but are closed by nonetchable material. The separation spindle must elongate as microtubules lengthen and/or slide against...

Like other ciliates two types of nuclei are present. A germinative micronucleus and a RNA-producing macronucleus. Both have nuclear envelopes with pores and both have ribosomes attached to their outer...

An image of the micronucleus and macronucleus of Opercularia coarctata. The nuclear envelope has numerous pores, at least as many per unit length as in the macronucleus. Some areas of the outer membra...

The first culture of P. multimicronucleatum which I had obtained from Carolina Biological Supply House contained a bacterial endosymbiont that resided specifically in the space between the two membran...

A view of the micronuclei of Paramecium multimicronucleatum. The circumferential band cut in cross section in the upper nucleus looks like it is composed of a band of four microtubules. This band is c...

This section is cut at a level where the macronucleus is folded so it appears to be in 2 parts and where the micronucleus is visible. Contractile vacuole, perioral kinetids, and the peristome is evide...

The macronucleus, one micronucleus, and the cytoplasm of Conchophthirus. The negative magnification is 6,800X. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750 Pro. This image is best used for q...

High resolution of a daughter micronucleus in anaphase of a dividing cell of Didinium nasutum. The chromosomes are compacted into one large heterochromatic body. Remnants of the mitotic division spind...

A high resolution image of the micronucleus and macronucleus of Opercularia coarctata. The nuclear envelope has numerous pores, at least as many per unit length as in the macronucleus. Some areas of t...
