An image of the microtubular nemadesmata that extend deep into the cytosol from the membranelles of the perioral kinetids. Bridges link the plasma membrane to the alveoli. Parasomal sacs occur around ...

Figure 327 from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Longitudinal section of the apex of a hair cell from the saccular macula of the goldfish. The stereocilia are seen ...

Typical organization of gap junctions as seen in thin sections (upper) and replicas of freeze-fractured cell membranes (middle and lower). Upper, gap junction from the saccular macula of a goldfish; ...

Figure 302 from Chapter 12 (Centrioles) by Don Fawcett. The centrioles replicate early in cell division and take up positions at either pole of the division figure. Concurrently with the condensation ...

Detail of cytopharyngeal vesicles. TEM taken on 3/2/71 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A operating at 75kV. Neg. 19,500X. Bar = 0.5µm. A print of the negative was scanned and processed in Photoshop. Th...

Contractile vacuole of Nassula sp. Parts of the single CV appear on two sides of the CV pore. Fields of spongiome abut the filled portions of the CV. TEM taken on 3/27/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 ...

This group represents a serial series of sections. At the level of this section the macronucleus, cytopharyngeal tube, food vacuoles, and perioral membranelle are evident. TEM taken on 3/12/71 by R. A...

This group represents a serial series of sections. At the level of this section, the bottom of cytopharyngeal tube with one cilium remaining. End of macronucleus, three membranelles of the pek, and ma...

A tangential section of basal body pair (dikinetid) showing a connecting fiber linking the BBs as well as attachments to a kinetodesmal fiber, to postciliary microtubules, and to transverse microtubu...

This section of Conchophthirus is at the edge of the cortex showing the striated fibers and microtubules that attach to ciliated basal bodies. In particular, enlarged glancing longitudinal views of bo...
