Detail of CV pore. Microtubules encircle the pore wall and other microtubules radiate out from the pore toward the CV membrane. TEM taken on 3/27/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 operating at 60kV. Neg...

Ancistrum is a marine ciliate that inhabits the mantle cavity of mytiliid mussels. This image shows a good view of the macronucleus, mitochondria with tubular cristae, and what are probably flask-shap...

The figure shows the beginning of the cytopharyngeal ribs of the ribbed wall. The peristome is bordered on one side by the paroral kinety that has 2 rows of basal bodies, of which only one is ciliated...

A cell with a flat alveolar sac system. It is not clear why some cells have expanded alveoli and others have flattened alveoli. Cacodylate buffered fixative. TEM taken on 2/3/69 by R. Allen with Phil...

Detail of spongiome of CV. The tubular network is continuous with the filling CV at numerous points. Some spongiome tubules my be decorated with V-ATPases. TEM taken on 3/27/69 by R. Allen with Philip...

A view of the entry to the oral apparatus of the green Trichodina that lives on the surface of a freshwater snail collected in central Illinois. In this view the haplokinety and the polykinety of the ...

Opercularia is named for a ciliated flap (operculum) that is adoral to the opening to the oral region. However, this operculum is pulled back into the body when the myonemes are fully contracted as in...

The image shows a portion of a slice through a 3D tomographic reconstruction of a mouse adenocarcinoma cell based on x-ray microscopy. Live cells were cryofixed by plunge freezing in liquid ethane an...
