A high resolution tangential view through a dikinetid shows two microtubular ribbons extending toward the pellicle, one from each basal body, and how they overlap with ribbons from other basal bodies ...

A high resolution image of a longitudinal section of an oral basal body and cilium with the attachment of a bundle of microtubular filaments and a rod that covers the proximal end of the basal body. A...

High resolution view of the quadrulus membranelle (4 rows of cilia) in the buccal cavity of Paramecium tetraurelia labelled for tubulin. Microtubules of the axonemes of the cilia and the triplet fiber...

A high resolution image Didinium. This ciliate has two bands of ciliated basal bodies that encircle the cell, one adorally and one aborally. The bands are composed of groups of approximately 15 ciliat...

Microtubules sometimes extend deep into the cytosol from the basal bodies. They serve to guide the trichocysts to their docking sites at the plasma membrane (see Plattner, Westphal and Tiggemann, J. C...

An oblique section shows the transverse aspect of basal bodies/cilia within one pectinelle of one of the two ciliary girdles of Didinium. Two ribbons of microtubules and a short kinetodesmal fiber ari...

High resolution image of microtubules that sometimes extend deep into the cytosol from the basal bodies. They serve to guide the trichocysts to their docking sites at the plasma membrane (see Plattner...

High resolution view of the quadrulus membranelle (4 rows of cilia) in the buccal cavity of Paramecium tetraurelia labelled for tubulin. Microtubules of the axonemes of the cilia and the triplet fiber...

An image of a dikinetid in cross section near its proximal end. A postciliary ribbon and a transverse ribbon are seen. A short kinetodesmal fiber buds from the side of the kinetid. Coated vesicles or ...

A glancing view of the cortex of Conchophthirus reveals details of cortical structure. This includes the nature of the cell membrane and the alveolar membranes that reside immediately below the surfac...
