High resolution image on the multiple membrane systems at the cortex of ciliates. Thickened alveolar densities partially coat the alveolar membrane within the alveoli which underlie the plasma membran...

Leishmania promastigote cell. The image shows the flagellar pocket, the basal body of the flagellum and associated pro-basal body and the proximal end of the flagellar axoneme. The basal body is conne...

Differential interference contrast microscopy of the tintinnid ciliate of the marine plankton, Petalotricha ampulla. This preserved specimen (Lugol's fixed) was caught with its cilia fully extended. I...

Stereoscopic movie of Rotifers taken with bright field , red, and green filters at 100X. To see the 3D effect view with red and blue anagyph glasses). Honorable Mention, 2011 Olympus BioScapes Digit...

An electron micrograph showing a central longitudinal section of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (y-1 yellow mutant) grown in the light. The single cup shaped chloroplast with p...

Scanning electron micrograph of a Vaginicola, a single-celled creature found in pond water. The cell (green) secretes and lives within a protective casing called a lorica into which it can contract. ...
