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...

Didinium nasutum showing the two prominent girdles of cilia in full metachronous beat. If you look at higher magnification you will see the occasional short, blunt clavate cilia. These are known to no...

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...

Scanning electron micrograph of the surface of a peritoneal mast cell from mouse shows undulating folds, and few microvilli. The membrane folds could be misinterpreted for microvilli if analyzed in t...

Scanning electron micrograph of a 3T3 cell growing in culture. Complexity and diversity of structure across the cell surface is apparent in the this image that s courtesy of Susan Brown. Figure 48 fr...

Cells from peritoneal cavity exudate of the mouse, exposed to sodium azide at 22°C for 22 minutes. The macrophage in the field of view has extended long microvilli, showing a rapid response to change...

Rapid extension of microvilli on the surface of a peritoneal macrophage, induced by treatment with a metabolic inhibitor, sodium azide, after 20 minutes at 22° C. Microvilli on neighboring lymphocyt...

Scanning electron micrograph showing in vitro fertilization of a hamster oocyte. The sperm head, near the center of the field of view, is engulfed by the microvilli on the surface of the oocyte membr...
