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...

An image of the microtubular nemadesmata that extend deep into the cytosol from the membranelles of the perioral kinetids. Bridges link the plasma membrane to the alveoli. Parasomal sacs occur around ...

Bundle of microtubules supporting the oral apparatus of Coleps. This micrograph shows the detail of microtubular cross-bridging within one of these rods. Microfibrillar bridges are located at 22nm int...

A cross section of the probosis oral apparatus of Didinium showing the organization, distribution of toxicysts, and the ribbons of microtubules that support the ingestion of large prey. Further detail...

Cytopharyngeal rods, composed of microtubular bundles, form the wall of the basket. Rod lamellae are attached to one side of each rod. TEM taken on 3/13/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 operating at 60...

The postoral microtubular bundles form a track along which a newly released food vacuole rapidly migrates to the cell’s posterior end. Here the flattened cytopharyngeal membrane lies next to these b...
