A high resolution image of a layer of mucocysts docked under the pellicle. The pellicle has a plasma membrane and an alveolar sac system. Both basal bodies of a dikinetid are ciliated, and the food va...

A view of the AZM with basal bodies in longitudinal section and cilia sectioned lengthwise. Bunches of microtubules reside below the basal bodies and lie close to the cytopharyngeal vesicles. TEM take...

The new oral region in the opisthe starts to form as an unorganized field of new basal bodies develops at the equator of the cell surface. At first these do not resemble membranelles although some bas...

A high resolution view near the oral apparatus of 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 T...

A high resolution image of a dikinetid of Euplotes shows the transverse microtubular ribbon as well as a postciliary ribbon extending from the posterior basal body. Vesicles containing electron opaque...

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...

A layer of mucocysts is docked under the pellicle. The pellicle has a plasma membrane and an alveolar sac system. Both basal bodies of a dikinetid are ciliated, and the food vacuoles are plentiful and...

A view of an early endosome with at least two coated evaginations showing, lies next to the proximal end of a fractured basal body. Other clathrin cages may indicate other evaginations from the same e...

A high resolution image of a longitudinal microtubular ribbon sandwiched between the alveoli and the epiplasm in the crest of the pellicular ridge. A parasomal sac, the distal end of basal body, the p...

During division new basal bodies develop accessory fibers and begin to move apart to take up a position equidistant between the older complexes. The new kinetodesmal fiber seems to be associated with ...
