Immunofluorescent pictures of Tetrahymena labeled with an antibody to the V-ATPase of Dictyostelium discoideum provided by Dr. T. L. Steck, University of Chicago. a. This polyclonal antibody was the s...

A grazing section through the dorsal surface of Euplotes showing cross sections of cilia in four of the sparsely ciliated kineties . A layer of mitochondria underlies the pellicle. A replication band ...

In Euplotes a replication band of the macronucleus has larger heterochromatin masses on one side of the band after DNA replication has occurred. The replication band moves in the direction of lighter...

This section is cut at a level where the macronucleus is folded so it appears to be in 2 parts and where the micronucleus is visible. Contractile vacuole, perioral kinetids, and the peristome is evide...

Detail of spongiome of CV. The tubular network is continuous with the filling CV at numerous points. Some spongiome tubules my be decorated with V-ATPases. TEM taken on 3/27/69 by R. Allen with Philip...

An image of the contractile vacuole in diastole (filling phase). Decorated spongiome surrounds the CV. The macronucleus, micronucleus, cytopharynx, and basal bodies of perioral membranelle are include...

DVD quality video of the Contractile Vacuole Complex of Paramecium multimicronucleatum. Measuring membrane tension of the in vitro CV. To measure the build up of tension by the CV membrane an in vitro...

High resolution image of the cross section through a radial arm of the contractile vacuole complex. The collecting canal occupies the center of the arm whose membrane is supported by the radial microt...

A part of the CVC complex with some filled ampullae present. Masses of collapsed CV membrane are associated with the 11 microtubular ribbons. Ribbon 9 is curving away from the other ribbons and is ext...

Overview of Coleps hirtus cell seen in this median transverse section. This barrel-shaped cell has a few rows of cilia and the cell is covered with calcified polysaccharide platelets that are housed w...
