The oral apparatus of Tetrahymena. The undulating membrane is composed of two rows of basal bodies but only the outer row is ciliated. Both basal bodies are fully formed but only the ciliated member h...

A view near the oral apparatus of Coleps and 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 TEM. D...

Time lapse movie of a porcine kidney LLCPK1 cell stably expressing photoactivable GFP-tubulin. Fluorescence was activated at metaphase in a vertical strip between the metaphase plate and spindle pole....

A tangential section through the cell’s surface show the pairs of basal bodies in cross section. The ends of kinetodesmal fibers point anteriorly in the cell, the postciliary ribbons arise from the ...

Nuclear envelope and spindle dynamics when the nucleus moves into the neck of kar9delta Nip100deltaCAP-Gly double mutant cells arrested in S phase. In these cells, the spindle failed to enter the bud ...

Spindle oscillation in wild-type cells arrested in S phase. In wild-type cells, the spindle moves in both directions through the bud neck; these movements coincide with lateral sliding of a cytoplasmi...

Spindle oscillation in kar9delta cells arrested in S phase. In wild-type cells, the spindle moves in both directions through the bud neck; these movements coincide with lateral sliding of a cytoplasmi...

High resolution image of microtubules that 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...

A cross section of the probosis oral apparatus of Didinium showing the organization, distribution of toxicysts, and the ribbons of microtubules that support the ingestion of large prey. Further detail...

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...
