A view of microtubular ribbons in which the periodic structure of the tubulin units can be seen along the length of the microtubules. Short bridges link the microtubules side to side within a ribbon. ...

Details of the binding of the carrier vesicle to a microtubule. Four bridges, thought to be cytoplasmic dynein arms, span the 40nm space between these two structures. The membrane of the vesicle has b...

To see if acidosomes contain hydrolases (digestive enzymes) we incubated cells in Gomori’s medium which in the presence of acid phosphatase and lead will form an electron-opaque reaction product. Ac...

Two of the three types of vesicles that are transported to the cytopharynx and that accumulate in large numbers at the cytopharynx are shown in this electron micrograph. The discoidal vesicles move up...
