Details of the binding of the carrier vesicle to a microtubule. Four bridges, thought to be cytoplasmic dynein arms, span the 40nm space between these two structures. The membrane of the vesicle has b...

A high resolution image of an individual cirrus of Euplotes with 91 cilia/basal body complexes. The transition from basal body to cilium can be followed from right to left in each row. Small vesicles,...

High resolution micrograph of cubic membrane array which represents the cell’s method of storing large quantities of lipid and protein bilayers into the smallest possible volume. These membranes can...

The radial arms of the Contractile Vacuole Complex or CVC each contain a collecting canal enclosed by a microtubular ribbon split lengthwise into several smaller ribbons, a meshwork of smooth spongiom...

A high resolution micrograph of the Contractile Vacuole Complex membrane system to determine what happens to the CV during systole we observed the CV in a living cell and then fixed the cell as soon a...

Figs. 305 & 306 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12: Centrioles show a cross section though centrioles. The radially symmetrical periodic structures were intensified by rotating and averaging the images. Th...

A high resolution view of the Contractile Vacuole Complex. The CV membrane has collapsed into regularly spaced tubules oriented perpendicular to the microtubular ribbon in this ruptured cell. Some tub...

To determine what happens to the CV during systole we observed the CV in a living cell and then fixed the cell as soon as the CV had opened to the outside. It was apparent that the CV membrane does no...

Cubic membrane such as this array represents the cell’s method of storing large quantities of lipid and protein bilayers into the smallest possible volume. These membranes can quickly expand into pl...
