A high resolution image of the pellicle of Didinium, in cross section of a non-dividing cell, has a plasma membrane with a distinct glycocalyx on its external surface and a flattened alveolar sac syst...

The flagellar pocket of a Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream form cell, with short flagellum. The image shows a new flagellum starting to grow from the flagellar pocket, in preparation for the next cell d...

The division furrow of a dividing Didinium. A thick layer of epiplasm coated on the cytosolic side by mitochondria forms the constricting ring in the furrow. As usual mucocysts lie between the epiplas...

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...

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 micrograph of tetrahymena showing a transverse ribbon starting from the anterior right side of the proximal end of a basal body (out of section plane) and crossing under the pellicle...

A high resolution, longitudinal section through one toxicyst and one bundle of microtubules (nematodesma) of the oral area of Didinium involved in the killing and ingesting of large prey. Didinium spe...

An image that shows the extensive layer of cortical microtubules which lie under the pellicle and many other microtubules and mitochondria that form a mass in the cytosol. Standard glutaraldehyde fixa...

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...
