A view near the oral apparatus of Coleps and the attachment site of a microtubule filament bundle, fibrous interconnections, and a rod near a basal body that is out of the section plane in this TEM. D...

Longitudinal section of somatic cilia showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in alco...

An image of the contractile vacuole in diastole (filling phase). Decorated spongiome surrounds the CV. The macronucleus, micronucleus, cytopharynx, and basal bodies of perioral membranelle are include...

Nassula sp. Transmission electron micrograph of rows of cross-sectioned basal bodies at the cell surface. TEM taken on 3/4/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 operating at 60kV. Neg. 16,000X. Bar = 0.5µm...

The flagellar pocket of a Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream form cell, with short flagellum. The image shows a new flagellum starting to grow from the flagellar pocket, in preparation for the next cell d...

This micrograph shows the striated kinetodesmal fiber extending to the pellicle from the basal body where it terminates against the epiplasm. A bundle of microtubules extends into the cell’s cytosol...

Cross fracture of cilia of the quadrulus. The basal body/cilium complexes are a little less tightly packed than in the peniculus. There are four or five rows of parasomal sacs interspersed with basal...

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...

Cross sections of a pair of basal bodies showing the triplet makeup of the 9 fibers; only one microtubular fiber is complete in each triplet while the other two microtubular fibers share some subunits...

The tubular cristae of mitochondria bear a pair of protrusions when seen in cross section. These are the F1 subunits of F1F0 ATP synthase enzymes which play a role in producing ATP, the cell’s main ...
