High resolution of bundles of microtubules which compose rods that exhibit periodicity along their individual microtubules. Discoidal vesicles seem to be bound to the rod surfaces. The bundles of fila...

A high resolution cross section of a Coleps cilium showing the axoneme consisting of 9 doublet and 2 central microtubules. Doublets have a complete A subfiber and an attached B subfiber. Two dynein ar...

Longitudinal section of somatic cilium showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in alc...

Longitudinal section of four kinetal rows of Coleps showing transverse sections of cilia and basal bodies. Parasomal sacs/clathrin coated pits penetrate through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm ...

High resolution micrograph of the contractile vacuole of Coleps hirtus. The filled CV is continuous with tubules of the smooth spongiome. The tubular nature of mitochondrial cristae is particularly ev...

A high resolution of some tubules near a contractile vacuole that appear to be decorated with pegs similar to the spongiome of the CV of Paramecium. In Paramecium these pegs are known to be V-type pro...

A high resolution image of a longitudinal section of a somatic cilium showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmi...

a high resolution longitudinal section of four kinetal rows of Coleps showing transverse sections of cilia and basal bodies. Parasomal sacs/clathrin coated pits penetrate through the plasma membrane i...

High resolution image on the multiple membrane systems at the cortex of ciliates. Thickened alveolar densities partially coat the alveolar membrane within the alveoli which underlie the plasma membran...

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...
