The ingestion of Paramecium by Didinium. This micrograph also clearly shows the five short rows of clavate cilia (ciliary stubs without central microtubules) that reside just below the anterior and po...

Didinium captures Paramecium. Also showing metachronous waves of cilia in the two characteristic ciliary girdles of Didinium nasutum. This micrograph was taken in 1968 by G. Antipa on a Cambridge Mar...

A view of the left side of Conchophthirus curtus deciliated by a calcium shock method to reveal the organization of the ciliature of this densely ciliated organism. In particular this method reveals t...

Conchophthirus was deciliated by calcium ion shock followed by shearing through a micropipette. This revealed the location of the deciliated basal bodies and the cell's surface architecture. In this i...

Conchophthirus was deciliated by calcium ion shock followed by shearing through a micropipette. This revealed the location of the deciliated basal bodies and the cell's surface architecture. In this i...

The aboral view of Didinium showing seven contractile vacuole pores for it's single posterior contractile vacuole and metachronous waves of cilia in one of the two characteristic ciliary girdles of Di...

Conchophthirus was deciliated by calcium ion shock followed by shearing through a 22 gauge needle. This revealed the location of the deciliated basal bodies and the cell's surface architecture. In thi...
