In order to study all stages of DVs in the same cell we used a protocol of sequentially exposing cells to different sizes of latex beads interspersed with washes: for example, 3 minutes in 0.1µm bead...

11 micrographs of views of a serially-sectioned contracted Vorticella convallaria cell that show the main features of this cell. This figure shows 4 food vacuoles; 3 segments of the macronucleus; peri...

A partially filled contractile vacuole is connected to two regions of spongiome tubules. The extra CV membrane is acquired from these spongiomes. Presumably some of these spongiome tubules are decorat...

Detail of acidosome docking sites at DV-IA planar view through the site where acidosomes are docked and/or fusing with a DV-I. These sites are labeled for the mAb specific for antigen L1. TEM taken on...

The 11 micrographs of the group are views of a serially-sectioned contracted Vorticella convallaria cell that show the main features of this cell. This figure shows the edge of last food vacuole in se...

A movie that shows phagosome acidification and neutralization visualized using FITC-yeast. Amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum were fed living budding yeast (S. cerevisiae strain TH2-1B) that had been...

This time series stack shows an amoeba (Dictyostelium discoideum) trying very hard to ingest a yeast cell (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that is slightly too large. (The yeast cell is a mutant with an elo...

A movie from the time series stack described below (CIL:812) shows an amoeba (Dictyostelium discoideum) trying very hard to ingest a yeast cell (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that is slightly too large. (...
