An isolated and longitudinally fractured cilium exposing the middle of the cilium. The spokes extend from the doublets toward the two singlet microtubules. These spokes are spaced unevenly so they app...

A view of the AZM with basal bodies in longitudinal section and cilia sectioned lengthwise. Bunches of microtubules reside below the basal bodies and lie close to the cytopharyngeal vesicles. TEM take...

A high resolution image of portion of an isolated cilium exposing two rows of outer dynein arms arising from subfiber A of each doublet. The heavy chains of the dynein complex are linked to the microt...

A view of the AZM with basal bodies in longitudinal section and cilia sectioned lengthwise. Bunches of microtubules reside below the basal bodies and lie close to the cytopharyngeal vesicles. TEM take...

A cross section near the proximal end of the cilium. Triangular densities link the doublets to the membrane. Bar = 0.2µm. TEM taken 7/23/65 by R. Allen with RCA EMU3F operating at 50kV. Adapted with ...

A cross section of cilium through the cilium-basal body complex extending from the cilium to the transition zone between the cilium and basal body and ending at the proximal tip of the basal body. Bar...

High resolution view of an oblique section shows the transverse aspect of basal bodies/cilia within one pectinelle of one of the two ciliary girdles of Didinium. Two ribbons of microtubules and a shor...

An oblique section shows the transverse aspect of basal bodies/cilia within one pectinelle of one of the two ciliary girdles of Didinium. Two ribbons of microtubules and a short kinetodesmal fiber ari...

Didinium has two bands of ciliated basal bodies that encircle the cell, one adorally and one aborally. The bands are composed of groups of approximately 15 ciliated basal bodies. This section is a lon...
