High resolution micrograph that shows the pegs on the surface of the decorated tubules that are negatively stained by the uranyl acetate dissolved in the methylcellulose solution used to give support ...

A micrograph showing the polyploidal macronucleus of Tetrahymena containing many copies of the genome. Chromatin material is found as condensed electron opaque spots as well as in an uncondensed form...

Monoclonal antibody, E30-2-1, was raised to antigen D6 that specifically labels acidosomes and DV-II. There was no label on the nascent vacuole membrane or ciliary membranes. This cell had been incuba...

Ciliates such as Paramecium have specialized sites for endocytosis and exocytosis. Most of their surface is not available for internalization of membrane because of the underlying alveolar sac system....

High resolution view of the contractile vacuole pore encircled on its cytosolic surface with microtubules. Other microtubules arise from these encircling microtubules and extend far out into the cell ...

High resolution view of the quadrulus membranelle (4 rows of cilia) in the buccal cavity of Paramecium tetraurelia labelled for tubulin. Microtubules of the axonemes of the cilia and the triplet fiber...

Ciliates such as Paramecium have specialized sites for endocytosis and exocytosis. Most of their surface is not available for internalization of membrane because of the underlying alveolar sac system....

TEM image of frozen hydrated soluble chromatin isolated from COS-7 cells and vitrified in 15 mM monovalent ions. The chromatin adopts an irregular zigzag fiber conformation. See Fig 2 in J Bednar et ...

Microtubules sometimes extend deep into the cytosol from the basal bodies. They serve to guide the trichocysts to their docking sites at the plasma membrane (see Plattner, Westphal and Tiggemann, J. C...
