A high resolution tangential view through a dikinetid shows two microtubular ribbons extending toward the pellicle, one from each basal body, and how they overlap with ribbons from other basal bodies under the pellicle. The peroxisome has one membrane but is filled with numerous tiny circular profiles that may represent tiny tubules. These tubules are much smaller than the membranous cristae in the mitochondria and are more probably proteinaceous in composition. TEM taken on 6/3/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 operating at 60kV. Neg. 14,800X. The raw film was digitized by scanning with a Nikon Coolscan 9000ED. This image is suitable for quantitative analysis. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in alcohol and embedded in an epoxy resin. Microtome sections were prepared at approximately 75nm thickness.
