Quick-freeze deep-etch image of a crystal. The contents of the crystal have condensed into paracrystalline planes that break into angular chunks when fractured. A portion of the P-fracture face of the...

Views of a striated band linked to the epiplasm on the ridge slopes and the intermembrane space between the plasma membrane and alveolus space inside the alveolus. TEM taken on 6/6/91 by C. Schroeder ...

Paramecium multimicronucleatum - Video of the Contractile Vacuole Complex. In vitro CVC rounding/relaxing cycles. An in vitro CV in a ruptured Paramecium cell is surrounded by cytoplasmic vesicles and...

Paramecium multimicronucleatum - Video of the Contractile Vacuole Complex. Effects of applying suction to an in vitro CV. Effect of suction on the rounding/relaxing cycle of an in vitro CV of Parameci...

A fracture of an apparently fully formed trichocyst showing that the body of paracrystalline material fills the organelles lumen and is bound to the membrane by a loose array of threads. The membrane,...

The tip of the trichocyst does not expand but remains nail shaped and remains bound to the elongated shaft. TEM taken on 6/7/88 by C. Schroeder with Zeiss 10A operating at 80kV. Neg. 19,800X. Bar = 0....

The postoral fibers are also heavily labeled by anti-b-tubulin. The cell was lightly fixed, placed in metylcellulose and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Sections were produced at -100°C before thawing and...

QF-DE of a crystal whose P-fracture face shows many IMPs similar to the P-face of an acidosome lying nearby and trichocyst as well as trichocyst precursor vesicles. TEM taken by C. Schroeder on 6/3/8...

Larger vesicles contain paracrystalline cores that are associated at one end with the trichocyst membrane. This may mean that there is a site on the membrane that promotes paracrystalline formation or...

Released from the cell the trichocyst lengthens and its internal meshwork opens up into an elongated needle. TEM taken on 6/7/88 by C. Schroeder with Zeiss 10A operating at 80kV. Neg. 24,880X. Bar = 0...
