A view of a part of the oral apparatus of Conchophthirus which reveals details of cortical structure. This includes one oral membranelle and three vestibular kinities as well as cytoplasm and cortical...

Conchophthirus was deciliated by calcium ion shock followed by shearing through a micropipette. This revealed the location of the deciliated basal bodies and the cell's surface architecture. In this i...

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 view of the left side of Conchophthirus curtus. See Antipa, G. A. and Small, E. B. 1971. A redescription of Conchophthirus curtus Engelmann, 1862 (Protozoa, Ciliatea). J. Protozool. 18:491-503 for m...

A view of the left side of Conchophthirus curtus deciliated by a calcium shock method to reveal the organization of the ciliature of this densely ciliated organism. In particular this method reveals t...

A view of the locomotor ciliature of Conchophthirus. This includes the nature of the cell membrane and axoneme. The negative magnification is 22,000X. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection...
