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...

A high resolution view of the cytopharynx but in a dividing Didinium. This cytopharynx is in the proter (anterior) daughter cell. The lamellae, each consisting of a set of perpendicularly arranged mic...

Lamellae of cytopharynx in the opisthe of a dividing cell. This cytopharynx is not yet functional and lacks most of the medium dense vesicles that accumulate between the lamellae. Toxicysts are presen...

A high resolution tangential view of the surface of a non-dividing cell shows several ribbons of microtubules between the alveolar sac and the epiplasm. The thick fibrous layer associated with the epi...

High resolution image of Didinium (non-dividing) has a massive cytopharynx at its anterior end that takes the shape of a cone-shaped proboscis when closed. This cytopharynx contains numerous lamellae ...

A high resolution image of the mitochondria packed with tubular cristae and the cytosol contains a jumble of microtubules. Basal bodies of the somatic kineties appear as dikinetids with a ribbon of t...
