Vestibular kinities and the cortical architecture adjacent to the oral apparatus of Conchophthirus curtus. The negative magnification is 15,500X. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750...

A high resolution micrograph of the locomotor cortex of Didinium. A longitudinal section reveals the basal bodies and the axonemes of cilia as they emerge from the cell cortex of Didinium. Bundles of ...

A high resolution view of cross-sectioned rows of basal bodies at the cortex of Nassula. Only a few basal bodies may have attached cilia as seen by the few cilia present in the upper right row. Basal ...

Image of the scopula, the stalk forming region at the aboral end of the cell body of Opercularia coarctata. A group of basal bodies each gives rise to a modified cilium that gives rise to a cylinder o...

An overview of the peristome of Opercularia coarctata. The corrugated wall, the equivalent to the ribbed wall of Paramecium, contains tubular projections of alveoli and cross sections of two ribbons o...

The monokinetids (single somatic basal bodies) of Coleps hirtus bear an anteriorly directed striated fibrous kinetodesmal fiber and a posteriorly directed ribbon of postciliary microtubules that arise...

Quadrulus membranelle (4 rows of cilia) in the buccal cavity of Paramecium tetraurelia. Microtubules of the axonemes of the cilia and the triplet fibers of the basal bodies are labeled. Ribbons of mic...

This high resolution EM features the striated bands that link the membranes under the surface depressions of the cortex. The bands insert into the epiplasm, and in this case, they separate to pass aro...

A composite of cross sections through the cilium-basal body complex extending from the cilium to the transition zone between the cilium and basal body and ending at the proximal tip of the basal body....
