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 view of the left side of the buccal cavity. It is covered by the plasma membrane, alveoli and a single partial layer of microtubules. Specialized cytoplasm lines the posterior end of this border. Or...

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...

Longitudinal section of somatic cilia showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in alco...

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...

High resolution image of 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 sp...

In this image a portion of the true surface of the plasma membrane is exposed where the culture medium has been etched away. The IMPs of the plates can also be viewed less distinctly on the true surfa...

A high resolution image of the transition from basal bodies to cilia within a portion of one of the oral membranelles of Euplotes. Parasomal sacs occur between the rows of basal bodies although these ...

A high resolution image of a longitudinal section of a somatic cilium showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmi...
